I felt nothing at all, and marvelled at the march of medicine! English physician Edward Jenner – the acknowledged founder of vaccinology in the Western world – inoculated eight-year-old James Phipps with vaccinia virus (cowpox) in 1796, the world’s first immunisation, in that case against smallpox. (Anti-vaccinators of the time spread scare-stories about cow-like appendages sprouting from the bodies of people he vaccinated!) Dr. John Crawford, born in Northern Ireland in 1746, introduced advanced smallpox inoculations to America, applied without today’s slender, metal needles. Ouch! The ongoing roll-out of Covid-19 vaccinations here and around the UK has reached awesome proportions, burgeoning rapidly around the world, though remaining fearfully small in many countries.
