Did edward Jenner win any prize in his lifetime?
Edward Jenner helped to create the smallpox disease. He was named one of the 100 greatest British for his findings in smallpox eradication. According to one source: a bust of him stands in the Royal Academy, and even Napoleon, the worst enemy of Jenner's native England released 2 prisoners at his request, and the first Russian child that received the vaccination was named Vaccinof.
What was edward Jenner's contribution to science?
Edward Jenner was born in 1749, in Berkeley. He wanted to get rid of small pox for ever so he carried out a simple experiment, which turned out to change everyone's lives for the better. Edward Jenner noticed that cows sometimes got a disease called cowpox. Because the milkmaids had to milk the cows, they often also caught cowpox…but it didn't seem to harm them. Edward Jenner was intrigued - milkmaids that had caught cowpox never seemed to catch the contagious and deadly smallpox, which thousands of people died from. Edward Jenner came up with a theory, that cowpox prevented people from getting smallpox. To test his theory, Edward Jenner needed to find someone who was young and who hadn't caught smallpox or cowpox before. He found a boy called James Phipps (aged 8) and explained his idea. Edward Jenner then took some pus from a milkmaid's cowpox and rubbed it into two small incisions on James's arm. Soon after, James became ill with cowpox but the symptoms didn't last long. 6 weeks later, Jenner took some pus from a smallpox victim and again put it into James's cuts. However, this time James didn't catch the disease. Cowpox was called vaccinia so he called his invention the vaccine.
How did edward Jenner's invention help people?
His invention helped people because he made a vaccine to prevent smallpox, a deadly disease that killed lots of people. He did this by injecting cowpox(a mild form of smallpox)into a healthy hand. This gave immunity to the smallpox that he would later inject to the hand. His invention of the vaccination was a great success as people were still dying of the disease called smallpox so everyone would have done anything that remotely cured them of the horrid disease.
What diseases did edward Jenner and Louis Pasteur?
Edward Jenner Helped understand micro-organisms by using them to create the first ever vaccine. He used cow-pox and made them develop into a cure to the deadly disease, small-pox. This helped other scientists understand micro-organisms a lot more.
How did Edward Jenner work helped to prevent diseases caused by micro organisms?
He had help from the disease cowpox and he tested it on someone called James and the milkmaid.
How was smallpox treated in Medieval England?
some people say that drinking beer helped?Answer:While there was no cure in medieval times for smallpox (just like today, there is no cure for the infected) except for a healthy constitution and good luck there was a preventative measure. People who worked with cattle often came down with cowpox, a related but milder disease. The majority recovered from cowpox and had an immunity to smallpox after that. This was not noted until 1796 when Edward Jenner, a doctor in Berkeley, Gloucestershire made the connection and initiated inoculation with cowpox to prevent smallpox.
How did technology help treat smallpox?
Technology helped Smallpox because they invented the needle to cure it with, at least that's what my primary school teacher taught me!! Yeah i think they did invent the needle because a young boy was tried out with it first to see if it would work.

Why is edward Jenner's work important to the history of medicine?
I am not sure who in their right mind would entirely believe something so absurd when history shows that it was Edward Jenner who did the research and work. Though moving on past the bad spelling and poor grammer in that answer i believe that his work was important because it spear-headed vaccination and research of vaccinations in England.Before there was no actual proof and only rumours that cowpox could make humans immune to smallpox, though Edward Jenner proved it with his research and even several tests on different subjects (Details can be found in wikipedia i believe). This made other scientists and doctors in effect start their own research for vaccinations for other deadly diseases off the base of Jenner's own, he became the first "immuniser" using knowledge that recovering from a mild form of disease gives human beings protection.So overall, it would be said that his work was so important because it made us look differently at how we could cure and strengthen our bodies against these illnesses. Even with old ideas we could use them to find cures for the diseases of today, such as AIDS for instance which is a common problem.I hope this helped, as i too was looking into Edward Jenner and his work.~Barrbossa_it is to get you understand the germs of germology to kill you by killing edward Jenner or so ma great granauntmother said. Edward died inchildbirth alony with his ma and then his father and son thomas made the discovery not him as everyone thinks, doctors have discovered that the chil that died but did'NT ,thomas was, actually edward jenners.by modern day scientists of Edward Jenner association.True!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
