تعريف edward jenner في الإنجليزية الإنجليزية القاموس.
- a British doctor who developed the principle of vaccination. He discovered that putting a small amount of cowpox (=a disease that affects cows and people, but that is less serious than smallpox) into people's bodies protected them from smallpox, a related disease that had killed many people until then (1749-1823). born May 17, 1749, Berkeley, Gloucestershire, Eng. died Jan. 26, 1823, Berkeley English surgeon, discoverer of the smallpox vaccine. He was apprenticed to a surgeon at 13, and at 21 he became the house pupil of John Hunter, who gave him further training and stressed the need for experimentation and observation. Jenner had noticed as a youth that people who had been sick with the relatively harmless disease cowpox did not contract smallpox. In 1796 he inoculated a young boy with matter taken from a dairymaid's fresh cowpox lesions. The boy caught cowpox and, when subsequently inoculated with smallpox, did not contract it. Despite early difficulties, the procedure spread and the death rate from smallpox fell. Jenner received worldwide recognition (though he was also subject to attacks and slander). He retired from public life in 1815 after the death of his wife
