This was the first successful vaccine to be developed which impacted the hurting societies greatly!

This is the practice of dried smallpox scabs being blown into the nose of an individual who then contracted a mild form of the disease! Between 1% to 2% of those variolated died as compared to 30% who died when they contracted the disease naturally.

Then also continued to gradually replaced the practice of variolation. At some point in the 1800s (the precise time remains unclear), the virus used to make the smallpox vaccine changed from cowpox to vaccinia virus.

After getting vaccinated, one would then develop immunity to that disease, without having to get the disease first.

If the virus that causes smallpox were even used in a bioterrorist attack, people who come into contact with the virus would be at risk of getting sick.
