Detailed explanation-1: -In May 1796, Edward Jenner found a young dairymaid, Sarah Nelms, who had fresh cowpox lesions on her hands and arms (Figure 3). On May 14, 1796, using matter from Nelms’ lesions, he inoculated an 8-year-old boy, James Phipps.

Detailed explanation-2: -In May 1796, English physician Edward Jenner expands on this discovery and inoculates 8-year-old James Phipps with matter collected from a cowpox sore on the hand of a milkmaid. Despite suffering a local reaction and feeling unwell for several days, Phipps made a full recovery.

Detailed explanation-3: -The basis for vaccination began in 1796 when the English doctor Edward Jenner noticed that milkmaids who had gotten cowpox were protected from smallpox. Jenner also knew about variolation and guessed that exposure to cowpox could be used to protect against smallpox.

Detailed explanation-4: -Edward Jenner, a British physician and scientist, pioneered the use of cowpox inoculation to immunize against this deadly disease. Although he was neither the first to suggest this use of cowpox nor the first to attempt the procedure, his work validated it and led to eradication of smallpox.

Detailed explanation-5: -We now come to the first, and crucial, experiment. On May 14, 1796, Jenner inoculated, via two small cuts on the arm, an eight-year-old country lad called James Phipps, the son of Jenner’s gardener, with lymph taken from the cowpox vesicles on the fingertip of a dairymaid called Sarah Nelmes.
