Did Edward Jenner make vaccinations?
Yes. He noticed how milkmaids caught cowpox, but didn't get smallpox. Cowpox was similar to smallpox but much milder so didn't kill people who caught it. The milkmaids who had caught cowpox didn't catch smallpox because their body had become immune to it after having cowpox. To test this theory, Jenner took some of the pus from a cowpox spot from a milkmaid and injected it into a boy named James Phipps. He fell ill, but didn't die. He then recovered and Jenner took the pus of a smallpox spot, in a high dose, and then injected this into James phipps. This was very risky because smallpox at the time was very deadly. James Phipps did not fall ill. The cowpox had made him immune to smallpox. This vaccination was done on more and more people to make more people immune to smallpox.

Who is an English physician who discovered vaccination in 1796?
Edward Jenner introduced a smallpox vaccine in 1796. He noticed that milkmaids rarely got smallpox and correctly surmised that exposure to cow pox was protecting them. After modifying the cow pox virus to make it less virulent he sucessfully showed that innoculation with it could prevent small pox infection. The word vaccination is derived from his work by taking the latin word for cow (vacca).

What gave Edward Jenner the idea to cure people?
Edward Jenner saw how milkmaids didn't have smallpox because they had cowpox, and didn't die. So he gave a boy a dose of cowpox and he got ill, but didn't die and then he gave him a dose of small pox and he didn't die because he had had cow pox already. (phew!)
