As the Covid-19 vaccine rollout continues across the world, organizers can find lessons from a historic vaccination endeavor in the Spanish Empire during the 19th century.
The Royal Philanthropic Vaccine Expedition informally called the Balmis Expedition after its leader, Spanish physician Francisco Javier de Balmis vaccinated hundreds of thousands of people against smallpox, including in Mexico, principally from 1803 to 1806.
