Early smallpox vaccine is tested by Edward Jenner (1749 - 1823), an English country  doctor, when he administered the world’s first vaccination as a preventive  treatment for smallpox, a disease that had killed millions of people over the  centuries.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, scientists following Jenner’s model developed new  vaccines to fight numerous deadly diseases, including polio, whooping cough,  measles, tetanus, yellow fever, typhus, and hepatitis B and many others. More  sophisticated smallpox vaccines were also developed and by 1970 international  vaccination programs, such as those undertaken by the World Health Organization,  had eliminated smallpox worldwide.

Jenner's work is widely regarded as the foundation of the modern science of  immunology.
