Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aimed to clarify the relationship between preventive medicine and politics through the case of controversies over smallpox immunization mainly in twentieth-century Japan. In Japan, compulsory vaccination toward a whole nation started in the second half of the ninetieth century and since then it continued just before the eradication of smallpox.
As a result of investigations into the political and medical controversies in the meantime, it was ascertained that the main point of the controversies consisted first in the necessity of vaccination and then in the effectiveness and the coercion of vaccination, and that the risk of showing unfavorable symptoms after vaccination has not been noticed for long.
