Answer 1

Who became immune to smallpox after getting infested by cowpox.

Step-by-step explanation:

A successful vaccine for smallpox was developed by Edward Jenner in 1796. He used the observation of milkmaids who became immune to smallpox after getting infected by the cowpox virus. It is due to the fact that the virus, which leads to cowpox infection is identical to the smallpox virus. When the milkmaids got infected by the cowpox virus, their immune cells generated antibodies, which can also destruct virus for smallpox, and therefore, they were not affected by the smallpox virus.

Answer 2

On May 14, 1796, Jenner took fluid from a cowpox blister and scratched it into the skin of James Phipps, an eight-year-old boy. A single blister rose up on the spot, but James soon recovered. On July 1, Jenner inoculated the boy again, this time with smallpox matter, and no disease developed. The vaccine was a success.
