Edward Jenner is credited for the development of the first vaccine. In 1796, he successfully inoculated patients against smallpox. Nearly 100 years later, vaccines for smallpox, rabies, typhoid, cholera, and plague were available. In 1979, smallpox was declared eradicated by the World Health Assembly. Vaccines are one of the greatest success stories in modern medicine—there are now over 20 preventable diseases due to vaccines.
Jenner’s smallpox research started with a research question. Research questions focus research efforts and help guide your actions related to research. For this Discussion, you will share your research question and provide feedback to your colleagues on how they might improve their questions.
Keep in mind that it is common to revise research questions several times, and it is expected to revise research questions based on the goals of the research study. This Discussion is a good forum for you to share, give and receive feedback, and inform future iterations of your research question.
