The term vaccine derives from the Latin word for cow, reflecting the origins of smallpox vaccination. Edward Jenner referred to cowpox as variolae vaccinae (smallpox of the cow). The origins of the smallpox vaccine became murky over time, [13] especially after Louis Pasteur developed laboratory techniques for creating vaccines in the 19th century.
Edward Jenner (1749-1823), discovered that cowpox induces protection against smallpox Louis Pasteur (1822-1895), his experiments confirmed the germ theory of disease , he also created the first vaccine for rabies

Amid anthrax vaccine's success, Pasteur introduced rabies vaccine (1885), the first human vaccine since Jenner's smallpox vaccine (1796). On 6 July 1885, the vaccine was tested on 9-year old Joseph Meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog but failed to develop rabies, and Pasteur was called a hero. [13] (Even without vaccination, not everyone ...
However, the origins of the smallpox vaccine became murky over time, [5] especially after Louis Pasteur developed laboratory techniques for creating vaccines in the 19th century. Allan Watt Downie demonstrated in 1939 that the modern smallpox vaccine was serologically distinct from cowpox, [ 6 ] and vaccinia was subsequently recognized as a ...
