Vaccine Trivia – Smallpox, a highly contagious and deadly viral disease, was successfully eradicated from India through a concerted effort led by the Indian Government in collaboration with international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO). The smallpox eradication efforts in India includes mass vaccination campaigns, surveillance and rapid response, containment and isolation, intensive vaccination in outbreak areas, health worker training, community engagement etc. Over time, these efforts led to a dramatic decline in smallpox cases in India. The last known case of naturally occurring smallpox in India was reported in 1975. Subsequently, the country was officially declared free of smallpox by the WHO in 1977. The successful eradication of smallpox in India serves as a testament to the effectiveness of vaccination, surveillance, and international collaboration in tackling infectious diseases. It also highlights the importance of determined efforts and the dedication of healthcare workers and officials in achieving public health milestones. International traveling exhibition ‘Vaccine Injecting Hope’ is on display at Raman Science Centre and Planetarium, Nagpur from 5 August to 31 December 2023 from 9.30 am to 6.00 pm. Please visit the exhibition and communicate the message to your near and dear ones.
