The fight against smallpox epidemics in the Granada at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries involved a whole series of actions which demonstrated the new ways of treating the disease. First the application of the innoculation and then the vaccination coincided with a greater general concern for the health of the population. At this time and especially with the arrival of José Celestino Mutis on Latin-American soil science in Colombia embarked upon an institutionalization process which also involved Medicine. José Salvany's proposals of stablishing Central Vaccination Committees were made in this context. The analysis of these proposals and their contribution towards "establishing institutional spaces" are the axes upon which this study is based.
18世纪末至19世纪初，在格拉纳达抗击天花疫情涉及一系列行动，这些行动展示了治疗该疾病的新方法。首先是接种的应用，然后是疫苗接种，这与人们对民众健康的普遍关注度提高相契合。此时，尤其是随着何塞·塞莱斯蒂诺·穆蒂斯来到拉丁美洲大陆，哥伦比亚的科学开始了制度化进程，医学也参与其中。何塞·萨尔瓦尼关于设立中央疫苗接种委员会的提议就是在这种背景下提出的。对这些提议及其对“建立机构空间”的贡献的分析是本研究的基础。
