Since the era of Edward Jenner, who developed the smallpox vaccine in 1796, smallpox has been eradicated globally, making it the first disease to be eliminated through vaccination efforts. Additionally, widespread vaccination has significantly reduced or eliminated diseases such as polio in many regions, measles in some areas, and diphtheria. Other diseases, like rinderpest in cattle, have also been eradicated due to vaccination programs. These advancements highlight the critical role of vaccines in public health.
Edward Jenner's discovery of the smallpox vaccine in 1796 marked the beginning of immunology and laid the groundwork for modern vaccination practices. By demonstrating that exposure to a less virulent form of the virus could provide immunity, Jenner established the principle of vaccination, which has since been applied to prevent numerous infectious diseases. His work not only contributed to the eventual eradication of smallpox but also inspired ongoing research and development of vaccines, greatly enhancing public health and leading to the control of many infectious diseases in the modern era.
Yes. The era was named for Edward VII. It is often identified with grand banquets and house-parties, in the style he enjoyed. Naturally it is was not like that for most people. But still, it has been a focus for nostalgia ever since, among all groups.
The Edwardian era ended in 1910 with the death of Edward VII. Then his son took the throne (George V), then his son took the throne but for less than a year (Edward VIII) then his brother took the throne (George VI) then his daughter (Elizabeth II). As you can see it would get difficult to name eras after the king/queen when since 1910 we've had 4 of them. That's why historians call the time after Edward VII the 1st World War era, then the Inter War era, then the 2nd World War era and finally the Cold War era-after that I would assume historians would consider it the modern/present era. HOWEVER This is my idea, but I wouldn't be shocked if historians (if given time) will one day refer to the time that Elizabeth II was Queen as the 2nd Elizabethian era. BUT If you really wanted to incompass all the time since Edward VII died into one whole era by using the name of a monarch I would use "Windsor era" because the one thing all the monarchs since Edward the VII have in common is that after him they all were the "house of Windsor." If the monarchy is abolished with-in the next 50 years or so I think historians will one day do this.
