In May 1966, the Worlds Health Organization was authorized to initiate a globe
campaign to eradicate smallpox. The goal was to eliminate the disease in one
decade. Because similar projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few
believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated, but eleven years after the initial
organization of the campaign, no cases were reported in the field.
The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations but also to isolate patients
with active smallpox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the
chain of human transmission. Rewards for re[porting smallpox assisted in
motivating the public to aid health workers. One by one, each smallpox victim was
sought out, removed from contact with others, and treated. At the same time, the
entire village where the victim had lived was vaccinated. Today small pox is no
longer a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.

the same time.

spread of smallpox?

victims.

of outbreaks.
