Edward Jenner was an English physician and scientist who pioneered the concept of vaccines and created the smallpox vaccine, the world’s first vaccine.

He used it in 1798 in the title of his Inquiry into the Variolae vaccinae known as the Cow Pox, in which he described the protective effect of cowpox against smallpox.
