In the past, the disease smallpox (天花) killed many people. In the 1770s, Dr.
Jenner noticed that women working in milk farms seldom had smallpox, but they
often had a mild disease called cowpox (牛痘). As cowpox was infected (感染)
from cows, Dr Jenner thought cowpox could help people prevent (預防) smallpox.
He did a lot of research and finally found vaccines (疫苗) made from cowpox virus
(病毒) could prevent smallpox. His discovery saved many people later on.
