5. Quick overview of smallpox and Jenner’s work
Smallpox was a terrible threat to the health of the population
There were regular epidemics, with a 1796 outbreak killing 3,548 people in London
People tried to avoid catching the disease by giving themselves the disease, hoping they would not catch it again
As the disease affected people differently, many dies from using this method
Edward Jenner was an 18th century Gloucestershire doctor who gathered evidence of over 1,000 inoculations
Jenner observed that those who had previously caught cowpox would not catch smallpox
In 1796 Jenner infected a local boy with cowpox, and then smallpox, to test his theory. He repeated this theory on the boy again and then on other people.
The Church, inoculators who stood to lose business and the Royal Society all opposed Jenner’s ideas
However, the government supported Jenner’s ideas, enforcing compulsory vaccination

7. How significant was the vaccination?
‘Vaccination against smallpox was a major breakthrough in the prevention of disease.’
How far do the following statements agree or disagree with this statement?
STATEMENT
AGREE OR DISAGREE?
WHY?
WHICH FACTOR(S) DOES THIS FALL UNDER?
Stopping smallpox was not new.
Inoculation was already being used to prevent smallpox. Many inoculators, such as the Suffolk surgeons Daniel and Robert Sutton, carried out thousands of inoculations.
There was a lot of opposition to vaccination.
The vaccination meant doctors and inoculators would no longer be earning money by giving inoculations. The Church did not like the idea of a treatment that was linked to animals.
Jenner showed the value of scientific method.
Jenner had found a way of saving thousands of people from smallpox. His work was an excellent example using scientific methods of experiment and enquiry, encouraging other scientists to solve medical problems.
Inoculation had limited impact on smallpox.
Inoculation was risky because people could die or pass the disease on to someone else. Vaccination did not have these risks.
Vaccination was free.
Whereas inoculation was expensive and usually only available to richer people, vaccination was offered free by Jenner and the government also paid for vaccinations.
Vaccination saved many lives.
Although vaccination was not compulsory it was widely used and led to a significant fall in eaths from smallpox. Deaths fell even more rapidly ater 1871 when compulsory vaccination was enforced. By the 1970s smallpox was wiped out worldwide.
Vaccination did not lead to other breakthroughs.
Vaccination only dealt with one disease and did not help doctors stop other infectious diseases. Vaccination was a ‘one-off ‘discovery, made because of the chance connection between cowpox and smallpox. Jenner did not know that bacteria caused disease, and so could not use his method to prevent other diseases. Vaccination was very important but did not lead to other discoveries.
