Who was more important Jenner or Pasteur?

They both made amazing discoveries and Koch did developed on Pasteur's ideas, BUT without Pasteur none of Koch's ideas would have gone far because Pasteur developed the germ theory which explains illness and without discovering illness then Koch's discovery would have never happened. Pasteur was the scientist that set the building blocks of this whole theory of germs, disease and illness, there were many people that wanted to expand on Pastures theory and so we don't really need Koch as much as we need Pasteur:)
