Question

who discovered the vaccine for small pox.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The basis for vaccination began in 1796 when the English doctor Edward Jenner noticed that milkmaids who had gotten cowpox were protected from smallpox.

Answer 2

Edward Jenner, a British doctor discovered the vaccine for smallpox in 1798. He noticed that milkmen did not suffer from smallpox even during epidemics if they had earlier suffered from cowpox. On May 14, 1796, Dr Jenner took cowpox matter from blisters on the arm of a milkmaid and injected that into the arm of an eight-year-old boy, James Phipps. Phipps quickly developed cowpox and recovered. On July 1, 1796, Dr Jenner injected the same boy Phipps with smallpox but he did not contract smallpox. He had acquired immunity against smallpox. In this way, Edward Jenner discovered the vaccine for smallpox. Smallpox has been completely eradicated from the world.
