The Emperor made a prompt decision to deploy heavy troops to guard The Capital, in order to prevent the spread of infection. At the same time, he publicly declared that in a dream, a divine figure had pointed the way, and he had found an excellent method to prevent smallpox. He ordered his subjects to go to Huimin Hospital in batches to be vaccinated, thus preventing infection.
Once the imperial edict was issued, and a few families who had been vaccinated advocated for it, the citizens' emotions were greatly soothed. No longer considering fleeing or causing trouble, everyone orderly went to Huimin Hospital.
Doctor Yao Chuanbai brought over many medical staff from neighboring hospitals, working overtime busily, and the epidemic was quickly brought under control.
The reputation of Huimin Hospital and its doctors was outstanding. When the people heard that vaccination could prevent smallpox infection, no one questioned it, and they all went to the hospital for inoculation.
