Smallpox Vaccinations
Taxonomy Code: LT-3400.8000
Programs that are equipped to provide inoculations which protect the recipient from contracting smallpox. Routine vaccinations for smallpox were halted in 1971 and the disease was declared eradicated worldwide in 1980, but because of the threat of bioterrorism using samples stolen from government laboratories, stockpiles of the vaccine are being created as a preparedness measure. Because the mpox virus is closely related to the virus that causes smallpox, the smallpox vaccine is also approved as a way to prevent people from contracting mpox.
