Abstract

In an initial period of some excitement in the spread of smallpox vaccine in Spain (1800–1802), to which were added provaccine physicians and surgeons and the publication of several texts that reinforced its dissemination, was followed by a more thoughtful stage where they raised questions of a technical nature related to the best way of practicing the vaccination. A good practice is supposed to have the necessary means to produce, store and transport the vaccine fluid. Question that had been well identified in view of the preparatory reports of the Royal Philanthropic Expedition of the Vaccine. Coinciding with the departure of the expedition, among the members of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Madrid raised reasonable doubts on this matter were discussed, receiving the secretary of that institution, Ignacio María Ruiz de Luzuriaga, the job of preparing a report that will present the conclusions of this discussion and will dispel the doubts to avoid shortages of the vaccine fluid.

Resumen

A un periodo inicial de cierto entusiasmo en la propagación de la vacuna contra la viruela en España (1800-1802), al que se sumaron médicos y cirujanos provacunistas y la publicación de varios textos que reforzaban su difusión, le siguió una etapa más reflexiva donde se plantearon cuestiones de índole técnica relacionadas con el mejor modo de practicar la vacunación. Una buena práctica suponía disponer de los medios necesarios para producir, conservar y transportar el fluido vacuno. Tema que había sido bien identificado a la vista de los informes preparativos de la Real Expedición Filantrópica de la Vacuna. Coincidiendo con la partida de dicha expedición, entre los miembros de la Real Academia de Medicina de Madrid surgieron dudas razonables sobre esta materia que fueron debatidas, recibiendo el secretario de dicha institución, Ignacio María Ruiz de Luzuriaga, el encargo de redactar un informe que presentara las conclusiones de esta discusión y disipara las dudas para evitar los desabastecimientos del fluido vacunal.
