ABSTRACT
The expression “inoculation” of smallpox was first employed
by doctor Emanuel Timone, native of the Greek island of
Chios and graduated from the Universities of Padua and Oxford.
This method was largely employed in the XVIII century.
Nevertheless, in 1798, the English physician Edward Jenner
published the results of his observartions and his own experience
with “vaccination”, i. e. the inoculation of cowpox. These
were exposed in his book “Inquiry into the causes and effects
of the variolae vaccinae”. This method soon substituted the
variolization. However it must to be mentioned that, starting
from 1770, vaccination was already performed in northern
Europe by non medical personnel as for example the school
teacher Peter Plett. Notwithstanding some initial opposition,
vaccination quickly spreaded throughout Europe. It arrived to
Spain in 1801 and thence was transferred to Spanish America
and Philippines Islands with the expedition leaded by doctor
Francisco Xavier Balmis. This expedition reached New Spain
in June 1804, and remained there until February 1805 when
embarked addressing to Philippines Islands. The other expeditionary
group, leaded by doctor José Salvani, addressed toward
Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, where Salvani died.
