The first vaccine. Edward Jenner was a physician and scientist during the 1700s. He discovered
the first vaccine. He was from Gloucestershire, England. Edward Jenner created a vaccine for
the disease called smallpox. Here we have an example of smallpox. It is a very dangerous
disease. Edward Jenner used his own son as a test subject by cutting him with a scalpel
and infecting him with smallpox. His body built immunity to cow pox and when he was
infected with smallpox the immunity to cowpox helped to create immunity to smallpox. Thus,
the creation of the first vaccine. Jenner's vaccine was important to the future because
his discovery opened possibilities to cure and other vaccinations for other diseases.
Edward Jenner had 4 publications in 4 years. He was referenced on the show "The Walking
Dead." Napoleon Bonaparte agreed to release some of his prisoners after Jenner's request.
He died of a stroke on January 25, 1823 at 73 years old. This paper slide video was created
