Smallpox was at its worst during the 20th century, particularly in the early 1960s, when it caused an estimated 15 million cases annually worldwide. The disease had a significant impact, leading to high mortality rates and severe complications in those infected. It was not until the World Health Organization launched an aggressive global vaccination campaign in 1967 that smallpox was effectively controlled, culminating in its eradication in 1980.

What year did Edward Jenner discover germs?

Edward Jenner did not discover germs, he developed vaccination for smallpox (using cowpox pustules) which was much safer than the inoculation for smallpox (using smallpox pustules) then in use.
