In London, Dr. Pearson and Woodville began to support vaccination and recommended it for their patients. From then on, many recipients passed on the vaccine to others, and it was then that Jenner started to gain support from the patients and doctors. The vaccine was sent all around the world and “up to this time, smallpox cases in Europe had been gradually declining in number and severity because of the introduction of vaccines.” Jenner did not look for recognition or fame through his discovery; he devoted so much time to the vaccination that his personal matters began to suffer. It was now that people started to see the importance of vaccination. The British Parliament granted Jenner 30,000 British pounds, and they outlawed any other way to prevent smallpox.
