The world's first vaccination to protect citizens from the disease known as Smallpox, also known as the latin Variola.
After years of extensive research, theories and tests upon humans throughout the world; such as Great Britain and the United States of America, an English man named Edward Jenner has discovered an 'innoculation' after contracting the disease for an entire month in 1757.
After the disease, upon survival, Jenner decided to research into finding a cure for the terrible plague, which has killed millions of people in the past.
It has been discovered that an innoculation of cowpox, a lesser form of smallpox, can also remove the body of the virus, and remain immune to both cowpox, smallpox and other forms of the virus.
Jenner, from Berkerley, England, has been hailed a hero throughout the world, after submitting his discovery to the Royal Society of Great Britain.
It is now down to nations throughout the world to decide if they wish to make innoculations compulsory, or ignore them.
