When the employees shown in the question above were working with cows, it is likely that these cows were infected with cowpox. When the maids injured their hands, the virus that caused cowpox managed to enter their organisms and try to infect their cells, however the immune system of the maids' bodies managed to fight this virus, in addition, the immune system kept the information necessary to fight the cowpox virus, which made the employees immune to smallpox. That's because the substance their body produced to fight cowpox also attacked smallpox.
