vaccination was better because it provided the required immunity without having to infect the individual with small pox postulates as seen with inoculation
Explanation:
Vaccination was a better alternative to inoculation in the fight against smallpox because vaccination provided a person with a vaccine/immunity in their system which helped them fight/prevent the contraction of smallpox. while inoculation in the fight against smallpox involved the introduction of small pox postulates int the skin of an individual which still had an effect in building up the immunity against contracting small pox naturally. Inoculation was used before proper vaccination was discovered and it made a difference in history in the treatment of deadly diseases.
