Cevap: Vaccination is believed to have been discovered by Edward Jenner in 1796. Jenner noticed that milkmaids who had previously contracted cowpox did not become infected with smallpox. He took material from the cowpox lesions of a milkmaid and inoculated an 8-year-old boy, James Phipps, who developed a mild case of cowpox. Jenner then inoculated the boy again with material from a fresh smallpox lesion, but this time the boy did not become ill. Jenner went on to publish his findings, and coined the term “vaccination”.

The credit for coining the term “vaccination” is usually given to Edward Jenner, an English physician and scientist who lived in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Jenner noticed that milkmaids who had been exposed to cowpox seemed to be immune to smallpox. In 1796, he conducted the first ever vaccination in which he used cowpox material to inoculate a young boy. In his subsequent publications, he coined the term “vaccination” from the Latin word “vacca” which means “cow”.

The term 'vaccination' was coined by Edward Jenner in 1796, during the smallpox epidemic. Jenner was an English country doctor who observed that milkmaids who had previously been infected with cowpox were immune to smallpox. He took some of this cowpox material and injected it into a young boy, and the boy became immune to smallpox. This was the first-ever vaccination. Jenner named this process 'vaccination', after the Latin word for cowpox, 'vacca'.

Answer: According to historical records, the term "vaccination" was first used by Edward Jenner in 1796. Jenner used cowpox to immunize individuals against smallpox, and he coined the term to describe the process. The term was derived from the Latin word "vacca," which means cow. Jenner is widely known as the inventor of the first successful vaccine, and his work laid the foundation for modern immunization techniques.
