One man's fight against a deadly disease . . .
Dr Jenner reaches for his lancet and cuts James Phipps' arm. He pokes a stick covered in slimy gunge into the gaping wound. He is infecting the boy with a deadly disease - smallpox.
But Edward Jenner wants to save lives, not destroy them. It is 1796, and smallpox kills one in four children. He plans to end its reign of terror - through a strange new process he calls "vaccination".
Jenner must fight ignorance and fear as well as the killer virus. His enemies pour scorn on him. They say vaccination is dangerous. Will Dr Jenner win the battle against smallpox? Will James Phipps survive?
