LOPEZ ESPINOSA, José Antonio. El doctor Vicente Luis Ferrer y la revista El Propagador de la Vacuna. ACIMED [online]. 2004, vol.12, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1024-9435.

Some relevant aspects of the work by Spanish Dr. Vicente Luis Ferrer in Cuba, with emphasis in his contribution to the spread of a vaccine are exposed. In such sense, the characteristics of his publication founded in 1871, directed at the beginning, to the young people who at their time had sealed the first steps of their career with admirable brilliance and promised to be true lights are exposed; as well as to the eminent professors who, in their ever-lasting thirst of instruction, drank continuously from the good sources of knowledge and, step by step, followed the progress of medicine. By these and other qualities, they were, according to Ferrer, called upon to assimilate the meaning of the vaccine and to become multipliers in the spreading of its benefits as a safe medium for protecting the population from the smallpox, a disease that has then become a death toll through our national territory. Classification: Historical article.
