During this one-off session we will explore the nature of smallpox as a disease and its impact in history on human society. It will examine early attempts to prevent smallpox, popularised in 18th C. England by Lady Montagu as well as the discovery and development of a smallpox vaccination by Edward Jenner, and the successes, challenges and limitations of his groundbreaking work. We will conclude by critically reflecting on Jenner’s legacy.
