Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research, through a historical-sociological lens, examines different ways of vaccination in Japan, elucidates how vaccination was performed through the ages, and thereby tries to separate the political significance of vaccination from its practice. Specifically, the analysis explores (1) the smallpox epidemics during the latter half of the early modern period and (2) the discourse surrounding the inoculation/vaccination practice during the latter half of the early modern period, as well as (3) the enforcement of vaccination from the Meiji-Period to the end of the Second World War.
