Tell Edward’s StoryPut the story in order

The boy was infected with cowpox, but he was well again after a week.

Edward Jenner took a 7 year apprenticeship and worked his way up to become a surgeon

This was called a breakthrough and proved that the cowpox virus could give people immunity to smallpox.

Edward Jenner rubbed material from a cowpox infected person into some scratches on a boy’s arm.
