the cow pox and smallpox are the same thing. they give the body a tiny bit of the virus and let the body kill it immediately. the body gets so little of the virus that it can easily kill it, then it will become immune. the only thing is the side affects of this vaccine--stomach ache, nausea, pain, headache, and the seldom fate of death. in the early 1970's, the people got rid of most fatal side affects and it is now given to infants. now smallpox (cow pox) is virtually impossible to get the virus.

Who discovered the first vaccine?
Edward Jenner created the first vaccine to be widely used in 1796; others had done the same before him, but their discoveries were not well-known.

The boy did not develop smallpox, and Jenner's work was published widely.
What does the smallpox vaccine have to do with cows?
The smallpox vaccine was developed by Edward Jenner, an English physician. He noticed that dairywomen who had caught cowpox - a related disease - did not catch smallpox. So he inoculated people with weakened cowpox, their bodies built up the antibodies to cowpox which then also protected them against smallpox.Cowpox is known as Variolae Vaccinae (vacca = cow in Latin) and hence the name.
Did Edward Jenner make vaccinations?
Yes. He noticed how milkmaids caught cowpox, but didn't get smallpox. Cowpox was similar to smallpox but much milder so didn't kill people who caught it. The milkmaids who had caught cowpox didn't catch smallpox because their body had become immune to it after having cowpox. To test this theory, Jenner took some of the pus from a cowpox spot from a milkmaid and injected it into a boy named James Phipps. He fell ill, but didn't die. He then recovered and Jenner took the pus of a smallpox spot, in a high dose, and then injected this into James phipps. This was very risky because smallpox at the time was very deadly. James Phipps did not fall ill. The cowpox had made him immune to smallpox. This vaccination was done on more and more people to make more people immune to smallpox.
