Jenner, Edward (1749–1823). Vaccination pioneer. As John Hunter's first house‐pupil and dresser at St George's hospital (London), Jenner shared Hunter's belief in experimentation, but chose to practise at home at Berkeley (Glos.). He became obsessed with the idea that inoculation of cowpox matter was a better protection against smallpox than using exudate from smallpox lesions. An initial paper having been rejected, he published privately
An Inquiry into Cow‐pox (1798), and very slowly the idea of ‘vaccination’ was popularized.
