Edward Jenner is considered the founder of vaccines in the western world. In 1796, he inoculated a 13 year-old-boy with the virus that caused cowpox. Since cowpox and smallpox are closely related, the result was a demonstrated immunity to smallpox. Later, the first smallpox vaccine was developed. During the next two centuries, systematic implementation of mass smallpox immunizations culminated in its global eradication in 1979.

A) ...allowed only expectant mothers to pass the immunity on to their unborn children.
