Edward Jenner
Edward Jenner was a British medicine man who discover the vaccination.
He born in the 17 of May, 1749 and died in the 26 of January, 1823 with 73 years.
He worked in the Berkeley clinic.
๐ฌ The Discovery ๐ฌ
Before the conclusion most of the scientists discover passes throught this 4 steps like the vaccination discovery...
๐๐ฎ What is cowpox? โ

Cowpox it's like smallpox, but is not a killer disease, people that catch it get sick for around 7 days. After 7 days they are alright!!
Most of the people that catch this disease are milkmaids...they catch this infection from the cows.
They only get scars in the hands and arms.
๐Observation ๐ฌ

Edward Jenner observes that milkmaids are very beautiful because never get smallpox, only cowpox from the cows. He found It very strange...
โโQuestion โ๏ธ
But, why milkmaids never get smallpox?
*๏ธโฃ๐ฃ Hypothesis ๐ก๐
Edward have a theory: "if you gave people a disease caught from cows, called cowpox, they would be protected from smallpox" (From Tim's doc about this)*
โ Experiment โ
He make the experience to prove his theory: On the 14th of May 1796, Edward Jenner gave cowpox (from a cow called Blossom) to James Phipps, an eight year old boy.

He made two cuts on the boyโs arm and put in liquid from a cowpox sore that was on the hand of Sarah Nelmes, a milkmaid. Then, a few months later, he tried to give the boy smallpox. James did not catch smallpox, he had become immune.
๐ Conclusion ๐
Jenner had discovered that infecting someone a disease that is not serious, protected them from the more serious one.
๐ THE VACINATION ๐
Bodies defences
Vaccinations and antibiotics
When you are immunised that is the same of vaccinated, the doctor gives you a small and not serious disease which protects you against a more serious disease.

The vaccine is not dangerous: it is a weak or dead form of the disease protect agrainst it.

Animals Vacinations
Vacinations its not only for humans, but for animals as well. When we have a domestical animal, we should speack with the veterinary about against what and when you should vaccine our animal.
