Description
Discover the global history of vaccination in War Against Smallpox by Michael Bennett. Published by Cambridge University Press, this book provides a new assessment of Edward Jenner's achievement and the discovery of cowpox. It tracks how vaccination became a viable and widely available practice during the Napoleonic Wars. This history explores the complex networks that carried the vaccine to every corner of the globe. Bennett looks at how different peoples received and established vaccination in their own societies. The narrative focuses on the human element of this medical revolution, from the horrors of the smallpox disease to the hopes held by medical professionals and parents. Readers will learn about the practical realities of early immunization, including the methods used to transport the vaccine and the lives of the children involved in the arm-to-arm process. It is a detailed account of a medical milestone that changed the course of human health history.
