The Vaccination Controversy: The Rise, Reign and Fall of Compulsory Vaccination for Smallpox
Stanley Williamson
In the 18th Century a far reaching and ultimately controversial development took place when Edward Jenner developed an inoculation for Smallpox based on a culture from Cowpox. This book examines the astonishing speed at which Jenner's technique of 'vaccination' was taken up, culminating in the 'Compulsory Vaccination Act of 1853'.
