Edward Jenner

The died on cerebral thrombosis in the early morning on Sunday 26th of January 1823 at age 73.

Actually smallpox inoculation had been done for more than 3000 years before Jenner in India and other places. It involved using pustules from a recovering smallpox victim to induce what was hoped to be a mild case of smallpox and immunity. However sometimes inoculation caused a full blown case of smallpox with all the scarring and occasionally death. But people were familiar with it and felt they understood its benefits and risks.

Jenner introduced vaccination involving pustules from cows (in Latin vacca) with active cowpox. People were neither familiar or comfortable with this new method. Perhaps it might not produce immunity as effectively or long lasting as successful inoculation did. Might it produce unexpected side effects? Nobody (including Jenner) knew for certain and many rumors about vaccination began circulating.

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.

Creating the smallpox vaccine

He noticed, in his village where he was a doctor, that the dairymaids (woman who milk the cow) who had previously had Cowpox didn't get Smallpox. He got inspired by that and thought that they might have become immune to it. He also successfully tested this on a boy.

One day Edward was studying a milk woman who was milking a cow when he noticed she had cow pox that you get from cows. Smallpox was very common in those days so he started to wonder why most milk woman had not caught it yet? So he decided to test it on someone . he found a little boy just 8 and a bit years old and he agreed to help him. He deliberately gave him cow pox and the boy was ill with cow pox but he got better quickly . next he gave him some pus out of a small pox boil to see if he caught it. The boy was fine and Edward had found the cure.

Edward Jenner, was an English physician and scientist who was the pioneer of smallpox vaccine, the very first vaccine ever.

1 or 2 i think.

he saw milkmaids

He did it just to make sure his calculations were correct because not everyone is the same

It was called an inquiry into the causes and effects of the variolae vaccinae and published in 1798

Edward Jenner was an English physician who is credited with successfully introducing the practice of vaccinating against smallpox. Jenner, apprenticed to a surgeon as a boy, studied medicine briefly in London before returning to his rural hometown to open his own medical practice (1792). Following up on local lore that said dairymaids who had contracted cowpox were immune to smallpox, Jenner decided to see if he could adapt the Turkish practice of inoculation to prevent the spread and devastation of smallpox. In May of 1796 he took a gamble and inoculated James Phipps, the 8 year-old son of a local farmer. Phipps was exposed to fluid from the pustules of a woman with cowpox. The boy contracted cowpox, and several weeks later Jenner exposed him to smallpox. Fortunately, the boy didn't contract smallpox and Jenner's theory was proved correct. After other successful trials, Jenner published his findings in Inquiry into the Cause and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae in 1798. Jenner went on to become famous as the world embraced "vaccination," a term he coined (because vacca is Latin for cow, and vaccinia was the term for cowpox). Jenner was also an educated naturalist and horticulturist, an amateur geologist and zoologist (he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society for a paper on the nesting habits of the cuckoo) and a fossil hunter who discovered the bones of a plesiosaur in 1819.

Berkely

Edward Jenner became a doctor because after training in London as an army surgeon, spent his whole career as a country doctor in his native county of Gloucestershire in the West of England. His research was based on careful case-studies and clinical observation before scientist could explain the virus themselves.

Edward Jenner had three children. The first was Edward, who was named after his father. The second was named Catherine, who was named after her mother, and the third was named robert. Only Catherine married and had children.

He was a physician who after realizing that people who contracted cowpox never seemed to contract smallpox took some cowpox and injected someone with just a tiny amount of it This caused them to be resistant to smallpox
