PASSAGE 2
Smallpox was the first widespread disease to be eliminated by human invention . In May, 1966, the
World Health Organization (WHO) , an agency of the United Nations was authorized to initiate a global
campaign to eradicate smallpox . The goal was to eliminate the disease in one decade . At the time , the
disease posed a serious threat to people in more than thirty nations . 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
reporting smallpox assisted in motivating removed from contact with others and treated . at the same time
, the entire village where the victim had lived was vaccinated
By April of 1978 WHO officials announced that they had isolated the last known case of the disease but
health workers continued to search for new cases for two additional years to be completely sure . In may ,
1980, a formal statement was made to the global community . Today smallpox is no longer a threat to
humanity . Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.
