Abstract

The history of smallpox vaccination demonstrates medical progress and international cooperation in the face of infectious diseases. This study examines the technological and logistical resources that enabled the preservation and transport of vaccine material between Europe and the Americas at the dawn of the nineteenth century. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, the study reconstructs the methods used to preserve the smallpox vaccine and the institutional networks that overcame technical and environmental challenges, offering a material and sociotechnical perspective that has been little explored in traditional historiography.
