O'Dell, Fred J. | Williams, Andrew N. | Poland, Gregory A.
This history of vaccinology article outlines the work of William Money (1790–1843), who conducted a study related to smallpox disease, immunity, and vaccination. His hitherto unpublished study demonstrated that smallpox could be contracted more than once; notably, results from his studies showed that vaccination was not dangerous. He was also the author of a celebrated Vade Mecum in human anatomy. Here, we outline the work he conducted in England: from serving as the house surgeon at Northampton Infirmary to his post as a surgeon at the Royal Metropolitan Hospital in London.
