Edward Jenner introduced a smallpox vaccine in 1796. He noticed that milkmaids rarely got smallpox and correctly surmised that exposure to cow pox was protecting them. After modifying the cow pox virus to make it less virulent he sucessfully showed that innoculation with it could prevent small pox infection.
The word vaccination is derived from his work by taking the latin word for cow (vacca).
