About this person
Francisco Javier de Balmis was a Spanish physician best known for leading an 1803 expedition to Spanish America, the Philippines and China to vaccinate populations against smallpox. His expedition was the first international vaccination campaign in history and one of the most important events in the history of medicine. It inspired recent vaccination efforts such as that of Carlos Canseco, president of Rotary International, to start the worldwide program PolioPlus to eradicate polio.
