ABOUT LA VAROCHE^I

Smallpox is a contagious, disfiguring and often fatal disease that has affected humans for thousands of years. Naturally occurring smallpox was eradicated worldwide in 1980, the result of an unprecedented global vaccination campaign. Smallpox virus samples were kept for research. This has led to fears that smallpox could one day be used as a biological warfare agent. A vaccine can prevent smallpox, but the risk of side effects from the current vaccine is too high to justify routine immunization of people at low risk of exposure to the smallpox virus.
