Edward Jenner is best known for his pioneering work in developing the smallpox vaccine in 1796. He famously vaccinated a boy named James Phipps, the son of his gardener, by inoculating him with cowpox. Following this, Jenner conducted further experiments, vaccinating additional children, including his own son, to demonstrate the vaccine's efficacy and safety. However, specific names of the first 20 children vaccinated are not well-documented in historical records.
