"Edward Jenner advising a farmer to vaccinate his family." O Wellcome
The word vaccine, and vaccination, actually comes from the name for a pox virus—the cowpox virus, vaccinia, to be exact. But why did this wonderful tool of immunization, which constitutes one of the “greatest hits” in the entire history of medicine, get its name from a virus that attacks cows?
The Oxford English Dictionary credits the French for coining the term vaccine in 1800 and vaccin1803 (although there are cognates in Italian, vaccine, Portuguese, vacina, and Spanish, vacuna). According to an article in the British Medical Journal, however, the term was used as an adjective in 1799 by British general practitioner Dr. Edward Jenner (and the noun vaccination introduced by his friend Richard Dunning in 1800).
Indeed, when talking about vaccines of any kind, it is essential to start the discussion with the work of Jenner (1749 to 1823), who hailed from Gloucestershire, England. In the late 18th century, while making his rounds, Jenner made a stunning observation: Milkmaids infected with cowpox, which manifested itself as a series of pustules on the hands and forearms, were immune to the smallpox epidemics that regularly attacked the residents of his parish. (Many different animal species have their own poxvirus, hence smallpox—variola virus—for humans, cowpox for cows, and so on).
