We see this connection now; many present-day vaccinations include animal parts from cows, rabbits, and chicken eggs, which can be attributed to the work of Jenner and his cowpox/smallpox vaccination.Jenner married Catherine Kingscote (died 1815 from Noting the common observation that milkmaids were generally immune to smallpox, Jenner postulated that the On 14 May 1796, Jenner tested his hypothesis by inoculating Jenner inoculated Phipps in both arms that day, subsequently producing in Phipps a fever and some uneasiness, but no full-blown infection. At the time, there was no way of knowing how important this connection would be to the history and discovery of vaccinations.

We also enjoyed learning about the character of Dr. Jenner.
Inoculation was already a standard practice but involved serious risks, one of which was the fear that those inoculated would then transfer the disease to those around them due to their becoming carriers of the disease. I saw the book in my grandson's school library and chose it to preview for bias and the interpretations that frequently replace knowledge in today's children's books.

Edward Jenner is alongside the likes of Joseph Lister, Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur in medical history.Edward Jenner was born in 1749 and died in 1823.Edward Jenner’s great gift to the world was his vaccination for smallpox. Not only did he have a profound understanding of human anatomy due to his medical training, but he also understood animal biology and its role in human-animal trans-species boundaries in disease transmission.
