Abstract: This short review, which goes through all the historical stages and analyses all the existing homeopathic literature on the subject, aims to illustrate Mentor Hahnemann's opinion on vaccination in an exhaustive and unambiguous manner, in order to provide a clear and objective view on the subject. In fact, by analysing all available historical writings on the subject, one can effectively understand the master's opinion, an opinion based on facts, on experiments, where there is no room for ideologies or preconceptions. In fact, Hahnemann always held a highly scientific attitude even with regard to smallpox vaccination, which he always supported as far as it belonged to the law of similarity, carefully explaining its benefits and risks, also trying to make it more effective and mitigate adverse events through the use of particular homeopathic remedies, being aware of their presence, and of the risk of side effects and damage that could not be accurately predicted. With this awareness, even though he was in favour of vaccination, being thoroughly familiar with the homeopathy he had codified, he never stopped recommending what he called homeoprophylaxis, the use of highly specific remedies for each infectious epidemic, called epidemic genes, both in the treatment of the infectious disease itself and in its prevention.
