However, vaccination eventually became widely practiced for two reasons:

• Because the benefits were obvious.
• Because Jenner spent the rest of his life promoting the benefits of vaccination worldwide.

Jenners friends built him this rustic hut in the garden of his house which he called "The Temple of Vaccinia" where he vaccinated the poor free of charge.

By the time Jenner died on 25th January 1823, vaccination was accepted and widely practiced throughout much of the world, including the United States and the British Empire.
