What was the first vaccination that was developed?

Answer 1

Cowpox was used as a vaccine for smallpox in 1798.

The first vaccination was a traditional cure in Turkey whereas babies were exposed to animals turd, upon discovering the fact that these babies became immune to diseases scientists concluded the way to methodical vaccination.

It is against small pox and is discovered by E. Jenner in 1798.

Although first recorded cured attempts to induce immunity were performed by the Chinese and Turks in the fifteenth century.

Answer 2

Broadly speaking, it was the smallpox vaccine developed by Edward Jenner in 1796. It was an injection of cowpox, designed to provide immunity to the horrible disease of smallpox. Jenner, it is reported, discovered this treatment by observing that dairymaids - in constant contact with cows, and invariably contracting cowpox - didn't get smallpox, and so kept their clear complexions and, incidentally, their eyesight. Smallpox killed millions of people and blinded many survivors, including the famous Irish composer and harper, O'Carolan. The word vaccine comes from the Latin for cow. Probably a more appropriate word now is immunisation,but I guess Jenner should be honoured for his work by our continued use of the term vaccination. Protest groups formed at the time of the first vaccinations and distributed terrifying posters depicting people in clinics with miniature cows growing from their bodies in an attempt to halt the vaccination program. Don't ask me why. Their misguided scare campaigns didn't work, in any case, and smallpox remains the only human infectious disease to be eradicated by medical science in thousands of years. Smallpox is recorded in humans back to around 10,000 BC. Jenner did well!
