a boy
James Phipps was the boy who had cow poxs put into him as an experiment. Apparently, he was a young tramp who was bought into Edwards house, he was an easy target to experiment on. This is because he had had no parent or family members around, they had all died from this horrid diease called small poxs.
He tested it on an 8 year old boy and on some of his children.

He inoculated an 8 year old boy by introducing infection from a cow into his system. The boy developed a slight fever but was not seriously ill. Jenner then injected him with material containing the disease and no illness followed.
Louis Pasteur, a french doctor, was the first to explain the principles of vacccination. His first human vaccination was on a child against rabies in 1885. But a century before, Peter Plett, a German teacher and Edward Jenner, a English doctor practised the first vaccination separetly at the same time. They inoculated the vaccine (the cow version of variola) to people who will be acknowledeged as immuned against variola. Some historians also say that inoculation of variola had already been made in ancient China.
He tried it on a eight year old boy because he was sick.
Antibodies to cowpox virus
In 1718, Lady Mary Wortley Montague reported that the Turks have a habit of deliberately inoculating themselves with fluid taken from mild cases of smallpox and she inoculated her own children.Before Edward Jenner tested the possibility of using the cowpox vaccine as an immunisation for smallpox in humans in 1796 for the first time, at least six people had done the same several years earlier. In 1796 Edward Jenner inoculated using cowpox (a mild relative of the deadly smallpox virus).

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.
