Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Control
  • Vaccinology

Context:

  • The global eradication of smallpox, declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1980, led to the cessation of routine smallpox vaccination campaigns worldwide.
  • Recent concerns regarding the potential misuse of the smallpox virus as a bioterrorism agent have brought the issue of mass vaccination back into public health discussions.

Purpose:

  • To review current proposals and strategies for addressing the reemerged challenge of mass smallpox vaccination in the context of bioterrorism threats.
  • To provide a concise overview of potential approaches for rapid and effective smallpox vaccination deployment.

Summary:

  • Following the successful eradication of smallpox (Variola virus) in 1980, smallpox vaccination programs were discontinued globally.
