Smallpox vaccination in Senta County in the early 19th century.
The objective of this paper was to report data on vaccination against smallpox in the first decades of the 19th century in the documentation of the historical archives of Senta. The most important documents regulating smallpox vaccination, its control and way of conducting it are presented in complete. One of the most important documents is a poster proclamation from 1814 by which vaccination of children against smallpox was requested. Another document from 1817 was found and it certifies, with great certainty that at that time (or since that time) vaccination against smallpox was present at the territory of Senta. Authors consider that these documents are of utmost importance and that they represent documents enriching history of medicine in our regions.
