James (2014) by Claire Oakley. Edward Jenner and the Smallpox Vaccine
Abstract To the present, smallpox is the only human infectious disease that routine vaccination has eradicated successfully. On May 14, 1796, British rural physician, naturalist and poet Edward Jenner (Berkeley, England, May 17, 1749 – Berkeley, England, January 27, 1823) inoculated 8-years-old boy James Phipps with the purulent material obtained from the blisters that milkmaid Sarah Neme had in her hands. The peasant was infected with cowpox, a disease similar to smallpox, but much less virulent, and what protection for these people from the terrible effects of smallpox, capable of infecting 60% of the population and causing mortality 20%. In this way, little James was immunized against this virulent disease. Since then, and until Edward Jenner´s dead, James Phipps worked in his service on his Berkeley lands in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. James (2014) by Claire Oakley, is a 15-minute short that masterfully recreates how doctor Jenner´s vaccination against smallpox takes place.
