Answer: George Washington ordered the mass inoculation of the 40,000 strong Continental Army in 1777 against smallpox. This was done by infecting them with the less virulent cowpox which would immunise them against smallpox. Technically, this wasn’t a vaccination as it involved infection with a “live” virus rather than activating the immune system with inactive virus fragments or similar.
