Smallpox, cowpox, and chickenpox are all viral diseases that can cause sores. They are caused by different viruses.

It is related to the bug that causes shingles.Cowpox is found on the udders of cattle in the form of a rash or spots. It may also be found on domestic cats who enjoy catching mice and other small rodents.A man called Edward Jenner noticed that dairymaids who caught Cowpox from cattle didn't get Smallpox. Smallpox was a serious and often fatal disease. So Edward Jenner thought that if people were given the very mild Cowpox germ they would be protected from the dangerous Smallpox germ.He began to experiment and found the best way of giving people cowpox was by making a small scratch on the skin and dabbing the cowpox germ onto it.It worked, and Edward Jenner is known as the Father of Modern Medicine. His vaccination programme spread throughout the world and Smallpox is said to be eradicated so that people are no longer vaccinated against Smallpox. I was vaccinated but my children weren't because Smallpox is no longer a threat. ity was from this idea that other vaccinations were developed.
