Concept note-1: -Edward Jenner discovered the vaccine for the first time in 1796. The term vaccine was derived from the vaccine when he used the cowpox vaccine to protect from smallpox.

Concept note-2: -Dr Edward Jenner created the world’s first successful vaccine. He found out that people infected with cowpox were immune to smallpox. 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.

Concept note-3: -The World Health Organisation stated that “the two public health interventions that have had the greatest impact on the world’s health are clean water and vaccines.” example, babies below the age of two months, who are too young to be immunised, are at greatest risk of dying if they catch whooping cough.
