Edward Jenner
Edward Jenner (1749-1823) was a British doctor and scientist who is best known for pioneering vaccination. He invented the smallpox vaccine in 1798, after discovering that injecting patients with cowpox pus (a similar, but much less serious disease than smallpox), could protect them against smallpox infections in the future.
