Option B) The smallpox vaccine was the first successful vaccine to be developed. The process of vaccination was first publicised by Edward Jenner in 1796, who acted upon his observation that milkmaids who caught the cowpox virus did not catch smallpox. The vaccine consists of the virus which causes the related, yet far milder, cowpox disease; this virus is named vaccinia (the term vaccine is derived from it), from the Latin vacca which means cow. This vaccine has functional viruses in it.
