Garden shed of vaccine pioneer Edward Jenner added to heritage at risk register

Hut where father of immunology trialled first smallpox vaccine among 138 additions to Historic England list

A rustic, ordinary-looking English garden hut regarded as the birthplace of immunology - revolutionising global public health and saving countless lives - has been added to the nation's heritage at risk register.

The hut belonged to Edward Jenner (1749-1823), regarded as someone who has saved more lives than any other human. It was there that he first trialled a vaccine for smallpox in the late 18th century.
