Abstract	espanolSe analizan las campanas de vacunacion antidifterica llevadas a cabo en Espana durante la posguerra a traves de las noticias publicadas en el diario La Vanguardia para conocer los ejes ideologico y operativo de la politica sanitaria divulgados en la prensa general. Mas concretamente, se analiza como se represento, por un lado, la implicacion de la Seccion Femenina de Falange en las actividades vacunales del periodo historico objeto de estudio y, por otro, como el discurso medico evoluciona a lo largo del tiempo. Se han utilizado aquellos articulos publicados en el diario La Vanguardia relacionados con la Seccion Femenina y con la practica vacunal. La politica sanitaria de posguerra se caracterizo en un primer periodo por la lucha contra la mortalidad infantil y el aumento de la natalidad. A partir de 1945 el seguimiento y la adopcion de medidas consensuadas internacionalmente fueron incorporados a las publicaciones en un intento por mostrar el esfuerzo del regimen por tomar parte en las iniciativas internacionales de la epoca. La actividad sanitaria de la Seccion Femenina se convirtio en lugar de confluencia de varios niveles de subordinacion: como organizacion de mujeres, estaba sujeta a los dictamenes del discurso politico, asi como a los dictamenes del discurso cientifico. Como responsable de labores sanitarias conformaba el ejemplo ideal de profesion sanitaria femenina, con tareas de cuidado materno-infantil basadas en su caracter intuitivo y filantropico, no consideradas como trabajo productivo. EnglishDiphtheria vaccination campaigns carried out in Spain during the postwar period were analyzed in order to discover the ideological and operational axes of health policy disseminated in general press reports. More specifically, how the involvement of the Women’s Section of the Falange in vaccination activities was represented as well as how the medical discourse evolved over time. Those articles published in the La Vanguardia newspaper related to the Women’s Section role and vaccination have been used here. Postwar health policy was characterized in its first period by the fight against infant mortality and for an increased birth rate. From 1945, monitoring and internationally agreed measures were incorporated into publications in an attempt to show the efforts of the regime to take part in international initiatives in that period. The health activities of the Women’s Section became a place of confluence of several levels of subordination: as a women’s organization it was subject to the dictates of political discourse as well as the opinions of scientific discourse. As they were involved in health care work, their activities conformed with the ideal example of the female health professional, with maternal care tasks based on their intuitive and philanthropic character and not considered to be productive work
