He discovered that exposure to cowpox provided protection against smallpox in humans. Jenner is often called "the father of immunology" for this breakthrough discovery, which he described in his 1798 publication titled An Inquiry into the Variolae vaccinae known as the Cow Pox. Later in his career, Jenner continued researching natural history and the migration of birds while also serving as physician to King George IV. He died in 1823 at age 73 from an apparent stroke.

    Edward Jenner, FRS (/dnr/; 17 May 1749 26 January 1823) was an English physician

    and scientist who was the pioneer of smallpox vaccine, the world's first vaccine.[1][2] The terms
    "vaccine" and "vaccination" are derived from Variolae vaccinae (smallpox of the cow), the
    term devised by Jenner to denote cowpox. He used it in 1798 in the long title of his Inquiry
    into the...Variolae vaccinae...known...[as]...the Cow Pox, in which he described the protective
    effect of cowpox against smallpox.[3]

    Jenner is often called "the father of immunology", and his work is said to have "saved more
    lives than the work of any other human".[4][5][6] A member of the Royal Society, in the field of
    zoology he was the first person to describe the brood parasitism of the cuckoo. In 2002,
    Jenner was named in the BBC's list of the 100 Greatest Britons

    Returning to London in 1811, Jenner observed a significant number of cases of smallpox after
    vaccination. He found that in these cases the severity of the illness was notably diminished by
    previous vaccination. In 1821, he was appointed physician extraordinary to King George IV,
    a great national honour, and was also made mayor of Berkeley and justice of the peace.[30] He
    continued to investigate natural history, and in 1823, the last year of his life, he presented his
    "Observations on the Migration of Birds" to the Royal Society.[30]

    Jenner was found in a state of apoplexy on 25 January 1823, with his right side paralysed. He
    never fully recovered and eventually died of an apparent stroke, his second, on 26 January
    1823, aged 73. He was buried in the Jenner family vault at the Church of St. Mary's,
    Berkeley, Gloucestershire.[33] Jenner was survived by one son and one daughter, his elder son
    having died of tuberculosis aged 21.
