James Phipps (1788 – 1853) was the first person given the experimental cowpox vaccine by Edward Jenner.[1] Jenner knew of a local belief that dairy workers who had contracted a relatively mild infection called cowpox were immune to smallpox, and successfully tested his theory on the 8-years-old James Phipps on 17 May 1796.[2]
