Question

How do you appreciate Edward Jenner's experiments?

Answer 1

• In 1796, Edward Jenner inserted pus (taken from Sarah Nelmes, a milkmaid with cowpox) into a cut made in the arm of a boy named James Phipps.
• When Jenner exposed the boy to smallpox, he was found to be immune tot the disease.
• Jenner called that new method of immunisation as 'vaccination'. Hence, he is also known as the Father of Cowpox Vaccination.
