Imagine a world where vaccines have never been invented. Such a world would be a frightening place. It would be riddled with disease and people reluctant to leave their homes for fear of being infected if they are exposed to disease. With the thousands of diseases out there, the world would quickly become a hospital without walls and boundaries as more of its population succumbed to disease.

smallpox. An English physician and scientist, Edward Jenner is known as the pioneer of the smallpox vaccination. Jenner discovered that milkmaids (women who collected milk from cows) were immune to smallpox without contracting the virus.

Edward Jenner inoculated Phipps with smallpox several weeks after the inoculation…
