Abstract
The article presents and discusses vaccination regulations in the first half of the 19th century, when the Hungarian Protectoral Council acted as the government in charge. In addition to the provincial regulations, the paper highlights the role of the city magistrates and physicians of the Free and Royal City of Osijek in implementing vaccination within their jurisdiction, the healthcare workers involved in vaccination efforts, and it presents the measures then taken to encourage the population to get vaccinated against smallpox. A special attention is paid to the regulation of vaccination costs, especially the fees paid to the health care providers who undertook this task. Finally, medical reports, as well as the examples describing their importance in regulating vaccination, are also shown.
