When Jenner announced his experiments with vaccination against smallpox, William Woodville pursued similar trials, and in 1799 published the results: 200 cases where patients were vaccinated with matter obtained from cows or other cowpox sufferers. This demonstration of the safety and efficacy of vaccination led to its much wider adoption.
