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. Jenner found that milkmaids infected with cowpox did not get smallpox. He tested this theory on a young boy, first exposing him to cowpox, then smallpox. The boy did not develop smallpox, and Jenner's work was published widely.

∙ 13y agotechnically it was Edward Jenner who discovered the vaccine for smallpox by giving a young boy called James Phipps a small dose of cowpox and then when he had recovered from this he injected him with a tiny amount of smallpox. James was not effected because he had become immunised. However this was a freak coincidence as smallpox and cowpox are one of the only diseases that can be immunised against by injecting yourself with cowpox
