Vaccination policies in Brazil : science, public health and social control This article opposes the history of smallpox vaccination in Brazil with the one of vaccination against yellow fever. First attempts to impose small pox vaccination were closely linked with efforts of forced “ sanitizing” popular neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro. These efforts met popular resistance that culminated with the “ vaccination rebellion” of 1904. The overall success of Cruz's sanitary campaign (1903-1907) led to enhancement of prestige of public health in Brazil, but public health measures rooted in control over populations continued to induce reactions of reject and resistance. The vaccination campaign against yellow fever that started in 1938, did not led, however, such reactions. This campaign was welcomed by local populations, and it popularity was not harmed by a series of vaccination accidents. The radical change of attitudes towards vaccination between 1904 and 1938 may be explained by the displacement of goals of vaccination from protection of spaces to protection of individuals at risk.
