James Phipps

James Phipps

James Phipps (1788-1853), as an eight year old boy, was the first person given the cowpox vaccine by Edward Jenner.

Phipps was exposed to the smallpox virus multiple times over the next twenty years, but successfully resisted infection, proving the efficiency of Jenner's vaccination.
