Britain’s first vaccine was for small pox, which was introduced in Britain in 1796, Now there will be COVID Vaccine

There is a wave of joy in the hopes of a vaccine among the growing cases of coronaviruses worldwide. US company Pfizer and German company BioNTech’s Corona vaccine have recently received emergency approval in the UK. With this, it is the first vaccine of Corona in the world, which was allowed to be used in any country. Its first injection can be given to British citizens by the middle or end of this month. However, this is not the first time an Englishman is being given the first shot of a dangerous disease vaccine. The first vaccine was given in Britain itself even during the problem of smallpox spread around the world 224 years ago.

It is said that in 1796, a farmer’s son was first vaccinated with smallpox. The boy’s name was James Phipps and he was just 8 years old. After this, different countries, including France and America, developed vaccines for different diseases and gave them to the countrymen. The vaccine was invented in the US for some deadly diseases such as influenza, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, and Ebola, while the rabies virus vaccine was made in France.

The first vaccine was introduced in December, so how long can the vaccination of the world be completed: According to the research of Duke University of Britain, the vaccination of all the people of the world can be completed by the beginning of 2024. However, this would require increased investment and production capacity worldwide. Let us tell you that UNICEF, a United Nations organization, has promised to deliver 200 crore doses to 100 poor and backward countries by next year. Negotiations are ongoing with 350 airlines and freight companies for this.
