Edward Jenner discovered the vaccine for smallpox in the late 18th century. Smallpox was spread through bodily fluids and often caused deadly outbreaks. Jenner successfully transferred the virus between cows and humans to develop an immunization made from a weakened form of the virus. Later in the 19th century, Spanish physician Francisco de Balmis developed the first human vaccine for smallpox, which helped immunize over 200,000 people during an epidemic.
