    14 May 1796 - DR. EDWARD JENNER CREATES AND TESTS THE FIRST SMALLPOX
    VACCINE: In 1796, English physician Edward Jenner observed that
    milkmaids who previously had cowpox (which is caused by a virus that is
    closely related to variola) were resistant to smallpox. By transferring material from a cowpox sore on a milkmaid named Sarah Nelmes into the
    arm of James Phipps, the son of his gardener, Jenner observed that
    Phipps had developed immunity to smallpox after exposure to the variola
    virus. This major discovery led to the development of the first vaccine
    against smallpox derived from cowpox.

    The terms vaccine and vaccination are derived from Variolae vaccinae
    ('pustules of the cow'), the term devised by Jenner to denote cowpox. 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.
