In this work, he summarized his discoveries and expressed hope that the annihilation of the smallpox, the most dreadful scourge of the human species, must be the final result of this practice.

Immunity is an extensive topic, worthy of an encyclopedia of its own. While the practice of variolation (inoculating an uninfected person with pus from an infected person) was commonly used during the 18th century to prevent bacterial infections like smallpox, the practice was also used for diseases like typhoid, plague, and cholera. Immunization may occur naturally, as when a person is exposed unintentionally to a About 5% died. Hillel Shuval, Badri Fattal, in Handbook of Water and Wastewater Microbiology, 2003. Smallpox is most known for a rash of pustules covering a patients entire body. Here we cannot summarize the field in detail, but will identify key concepts. How does the flu vaccination work? T wo hundred and twenty years ago today, Edward Jenner administered the first smallpox inoculation, thereby giving birth to Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, the wife of the British ambassador, learned about variolation during their appointment in Turkey. In 1796, the British doctor Edward Jenner demonstrated that an infection with the relatively mild cowpox virus conferred immunity against the deadly smallpox virus. After being infected with the variola virus, patients usually had no symptoms for 10-14 days (an incubation period) and symptoms of a common cold for 2-3 days (unspecific symptoms). In this case, probably multiple reasons: A weaponized version might be designed to work around current vaccines. Variolation provided a great deal of protection against smallpox, which had a 30 percent mortality rate. inoculation), they took virus-loaded material from an infected persons smallpox pustule, carved an incision into the flesh of a healthy solder, and rubbed it in. The term was first coined in the 18th century to describe variolation (the act of introducing a small amount of pus from someone with smallpox into the body of someone without it). Before Jenner, variolationpurposely infecting patients with smallpox in the hope that they would get a weakened form of the disease and acquire immunitywas common practice. But most got a mild version of the smallpox disease. This discussion focuses on immunization against infectious diseases in vertebrate animals, specifically humans.

Dr Edward Jenner, who developed the smallpox vaccine, wrote to a fellow physician to thank him for endorsing his work Why?

Background: Institutional review boards (IRBs), duly constituted under the Office of Human Research Protection, have the federally mandated responsibility of reviewing research involving human subjects to ensure that a proposed protocol meets the appropriate ethical guidelines before subjects may be enrolled in any study.
