Ever since Edward Jenner developed the first vaccine for smallpox, scientists have been working on ways to boost immunity to other diseases. Although Jenner’s breakthrough came in 1796, it took almost two centuries before smallpox was eradicated. It remains the only human disease to have been fully wiped out by vaccination but the prevalence of many other illnesses has been dramatically reduced following immunisation programmes.
