Title
Medal commemorating smallpox vaccinations, France, 1830-1840
Description

French doctors were awarded this medal for the number of smallpox vaccinations they had given, an outcome that shows the importance attached to vaccination programmes. In France, smallpox vaccination was not compulsory until 1902 – nearly fifty years after Britain. The Latin inscription Ex Insperato Salus means “Health from the Unexpected”. Alexis Joseph Depaulis (1792-1867), a French artist, designed this medal.
