It was while working as a doctor that Jenner discovered that milkmaids—women who milk cows—rarely got smallpox. They often got cowpox, a disease like smallpox, but these milkmaids did not get very sick and they did not die. He wondered: Do milkmaids get protected from smallpox just because they often get cowpox? To test this, Jenner came up with the idea of first giving some people cowpox, then giving them smallpox. These people did not get the smallpox! After many other tests, he realized that cowpox could actually be used to protect people from getting smallpox. come up with be used to do sth. give sb. sth. protect sb. from doing sth. Jenner invented a new word to describe what he had created: “vaccine”. The word comes from the Latin word for “cow”. It was wonderful that, because of Jenner’s work, smallpox is not around anymore and people no longer die from it. His pioneering research has been used to create vaccines for other diseases. be used to do sth. Summary 1.
