He used it in 1796 in the long title of his Inquiry into the ''Variolae vaccinae'' known as the Cow Pox, in which he described the protective effect of cowpox against smallpox. Jenner is often called "the father of immunology", and his work is said to have "saved more lives than the work of any other human". Pic.
