Which one of the following discovered the vaccine for first time against the small pox in 1796.
Correct answer: A. Edward Jenner
- A. Edward Jenner
- B. Louis Pasteur
- C. F. H. Herbor
- D. James Phipps
Explanation
Edward Jenner is credited with developing the first successful smallpox vaccine in 1796. He used material from cowpox lesions to inoculate an 8-year-old boy named James Phipps. Jenner's work laid the groundwork for the field of immunology. Louis Pasteur, while a significant figure in the development of vaccines, was associated with different vaccines. The name F. H. Herbor does not relate to any known vaccine development, and James Phipps was the recipient, not the creator, of the vaccine.
