Individuals and their discoveries are not enough on their own to bring medical progress. Explain how far this statement applies to Jenner and his work. Jenner’s discovery of the link between cowpox and smallpox was significant to the development of a vaccine for smallpox. However‚ it can be argued that Jenner and his discovery were not enough on their own to bring medical progress. The factors Scientific thinking‚ Government Communication and Changing attitudes played a major and important role

fighting diseases is vaccination. According to Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary‚ a vaccine is any suspension containing antigenic molecules derived from a microorganism‚ given to stimulate an immune response to an infectious disease. The 19th century and the 20th century were known for the great achievements of great vaccine scientists such as Louis Pasteur and Edward Jenner. A substantial amount of vaccines prevent illnesses or death caused by infectious diseases for millions of individuals every

These diseases include smallpox‚ diphtheria‚ measles‚ mumps pertussis‚ polio‚ rubella‚ and tetanus. Some of these diseases‚ such as smallpox and polio‚ are non-existent in the United States. (Malone & Hinman‚ n.d.) Immunizations are most effective when a large percentage of the population is covered by the vaccination. The immunized

The second stage forms the adult virion to start the attack on the body. Smallpox attack with no warning. There are several painful symptoms that are brought upon by this disease. In most of the cases‚ symptoms in a new victim will occur ten to twelve days later. Patients will develop chills‚ high fever‚ and nausousness

In the past 100 years‚ the use of vaccines (along with sanitation practices) has dramatically reduced the number of deaths caused by infectious diseases. Administration of vaccines results in the induction of a vigorous immune response‚ similar to the one that would be induced by natural infection. Vaccine administration may result in antibody responses

Vaccinations against diseases should be mandatory‚ without exception‚ for all children of the U.S. who wish to attend school. These vaccinations are critical to the control and eradication of deadly infectious diseases. In 1962‚ the year before measles vaccine was introduced‚ almost 500‚000 cases of measles were reported in the U.S. Ten years after we started vaccinating there were about 32‚000 cases‚ and ten years after that there were fewer than 2‚000. In 1998 and 1999‚ only about 100 measles cases were
