Children in the United States are no longer vaccinated against smallpox, as that has been eliminated from earth, in the view of the WHO. Children in Europe are, or until recently were, still vaccinated against it. Polio was almost eradicated from earth, but vaccination programs got sloppy in some areas and it is now in a mild resurgence in some parts in the world.
