Edward Jenner was known as the “Father of Immunology”  was an English scientist. He is widely recognised for his discovery of smallpox vaccine and till date remains the only effective preventive treatment for the fatal smallpox disease. In 1980, smallpox was finally an eliminated disease.

On May 14, 1796, Jenner extracted fluid from a cowpox blister and immediately scratched it into the skin of an eight-year-old boy James Phipps.
