VACCINATION.
The first English Vaccination Act was passed through Parliament on July 23rd, 1810. Vaccination, discovered by Dr Edward Jenner in 1796, and first put into general practice three years later, was widely performed throughout Europe long before this measure. Already, / many countries had made it compulsory, among these being Bavaria (1807), Denmark (1810), Sweden (1814), Wurtemburg, and several other German States (1818), and Prussia (1835). In the United States several States passed compulsory vaccination • laws very early, Massachusetts starting in 1809. This was not done in England till 1853, and in 1863 the operation of tlhe Act was extended to Scotland and Ireland.
