Recently the World Health Organization announced that the disease of smallpox had almost been wiped out in most parts of the world, thank to wipespread vaccination. Most people are vaccinated at least once in their lives and if they wish to travel from one country to another they must be able to show a certificate proving that they have had a recent vaccination. In this way the disease has been prevented from spreading and today one seldom hears of it at all. This is mainly due to the remarkable discovery made by a country doctor, Edward Jenner, in about 1798 when he published an account of his experiments in a new method called “vaccination” (from the Latin word “vacca” meaning a cow) Jenner discovered that people who worked with cattle, like milkmaids and cowmen, were often infected with harmless disease called cowpox which they caught from the cattle, but these people never seemed to get smallpox. So he experimented by making a scratch on the arms of healthy people infecting them with cowpox, and though their arms became sore for a day or two, they soon healed and none of these people ever got smallpox. Soon the news of wonderful discovery spread abroad and people rushed to their doctors to be vaccinated. In America, at Gibraltar, in Spain, Egypt and China the simple scratch of the arm was performed on thousands of people, and the terrible smallpox began to disppear. 1. What is vaccination? . 2.
