Reporting from Business Insider, Saturday (26/9/2020), to get some perspective on the complexities of vaccine development, here is an explanation of how long it will take to develop vaccines for other infectious diseases throughout history.
1. Smallpox
The eradication of smallpox through vaccines is seen as one of the greatest achievements in the history of public health. But it took several centuries for a powerful vaccine to be found for the disease.
The origin of smallpox itself is not known where it came from, although scientists believe smallpox originated in the Egyptian Empire in the 3rd century BC.
In 1796, Edward Jenner in England created the first successful smallpox vaccine. But it wasn’t until the 1950’s that vaccine treatments began to effectively eradicate disease in some parts of the world.
Then in 1967, global efforts to increase the production of higher vaccines and advances in syringe technology eventually led to eradication of the disease in 1980.
To date, smallpox is still the only disease that has been successfully eradicated worldwide through vaccine efforts.
