I'm fairly sure you mean Robert Koch of Germany - - the man who isolated the bacteria which cause anthrax, tuberculosis and cholera. Hewon the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1905. His work led to vaccines, but I'm not sure he himself produced them. I'll look into this further. Maybe someone else on this site knows for sure.

Louis Pasteur and William S. Greenfield demonstrated the first anthrax vaccines in 1881, only a few years after Robert Koch had proven Bacillus anthracis the cause of the disease.

Cholera vaccines became available only after Koch's death.

There is no vaccine effective for tuberculosis.
