Francisco Javier de Balmis (2 December 1753 – 12 February 1819) was a Spanish physician who headed an 1803 expedition to Spanish America and the Philippines to vaccinate the populations against smallpox. His expedition is considered the first international vaccination campaign in history and one of the most important events in the history of medicine. It has inspired recent vaccination efforts such as that of Dr. Carlos Canseco, President of Rotary International, to start the worldwide program Polio Plus to eradicate polio.
