Learn about the process of Immunisation with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.

For many people, immunisation is their only hope at survival. It is responsible for saving millions of lives every year, eradicating some of the most horrific viruses, and increasing global health awareness. Without immunisation, historical plagues such as the "Black Death," "Smallpox," and "Spanish Influenza" would still be around. If we didn't have immunisation, many of us wouldn't be here.

Immunisation records go as far back as the 10th century, but the modern technique didn't start until 1721. During this year, an English scientist named Edward Jenner noticed that milk maids who were infected with the cowpox virus were immune to smallpox outbreaks.
