No you cannot get Smallpox twice. Like other Pox viruses if you have it once and survive it you have immunity to it from that point on. However, in the current day and age smallpox has been eradicated in the natural world It is ridiculously impossible and improbable that anyone currently has or has had a case of Smallpox since the 1970's when the last cases occurred. There is a vaccine for Smallpox but it is reserved by governments for use in case of a biological terror attack.

∙ 12y agoNo, the last time someone get smallpox was in 1919.
Smallpox only exists in a lab environment. It's not anymore in the natural world. However, the owners of the lab (the Capital) will probably release it in the "real" Hunger Games which we'll all be part of if we keep electing evil.

What is the purpose of smallpox?
Smallpox is a disease that has been successfully eradicated - the last naturally occurring case of smallpox occurred in Somalia in 1977. With recent world events and the biological warfare threat, this conquered disease has again risen to the forefront of public health. Smallpox is a highly contagious skin disease that can result in death.
Does the CDC have the right to force people to get a vaccination for an infectious disease such as the smallpox is it is a suspected act of bioterrorism why or why not?
CDC has a detailed plan to protect Americans against the use of smallpox as a biological weapon. This plan includes the creation and use of special teams of health care and public health workers. If a smallpox case is found, these teams will take steps immediately to control the spread of the disease. Smallpox was wiped out through specific public health actions, including vaccination, and these actions will be used again. * If a smallpox outbreak happens, public health officials will use television, radio, newspapers, the Internet and other channels to inform members of the public about what to do to protect themselves and their families. * Officials will tell people where to go for care if they think they have smallpox. * Smallpox patients will be isolated (kept away from other people who could get sick from them) and will receive the best medical care possible. Isolation prevents the virus from spreading to others. * Anyone who has had contact with a smallpox patient will be offered smallpox vaccination as soon as possible. Then, the people who have had contact with those individuals will also be vaccinated. Following vaccination, these people will need to watch for any signs of smallpox. People who have been exposed to smallpox may be asked to take their temperatures regularly and report the results to their health department. * The smallpox vaccine may also be offered to those who have not been exposed, but would like to be vaccinated. At local clinics, the risks and benefits of the vaccine will be explained and professionals will be available to answer questions. * No one will be forced to be vaccinated, even if they have been exposed to smallpox. * To prevent smallpox from spreading, anyone who has been in contact with a person with smallpox but who decides not to get the vaccine may need to be isolated for at least 18 days. During this time, they will be checked for symptoms of smallpox. * People placed in isolation will not be able to go to work. Steps will be taken to care for their everyday needs (e.g., food and other needs). Because smallpox does not spread as easily as measles or flu, measures like vaccination and isolation allowed public health officials to wipe out the disease. *This text was taken straight from the CDC website.

How did edward jenner know that the smallpox vaccine would work?
He didn't know it would work, that is why he tested it for both safety & effectiveness.Safety, his cowpox pus based inoculation caused fewer and milder symptoms than the existing smallpox pus based inoculation, also it produced no cases of smallpox a common problem of the existing inoculation.Effectiveness, when vaccinated a person was later exposed to smallpox and did not catch it.Note: vaccina is Latin for cow.

Is small pox still around today?
You can get smallpox even if you have had chickenpox.This was a popular question before irradication of small pox in seventy's in last century. (Probably 1976.) Now a days as small pox is kept closed in laboratory in London, you will not get it. ( Now it is high time that these stored germs should be destroyed. As once they were accidently leaked out of lab in 1978. If you happen to catch small pox, then the fluid from the vesicles of the patient will be good source of virus. You can prepare the vaccine from this source. If leaked out these viruses can be used by mad terrorist group as biological warfare weapon.)Immunity to chickenpox does not confer immunity to smallpox, even though the original smallpox vaccine was based upon cowpox. Also note that smallpox has been eradicated, and unless it is released from some secret stockpile of biological weapons, nobody is going to get smallpox, ever again, and hence we do not need to worry about how to prevent people from getting it.
If you terminated a contract for a house can you re contract the same house?
Sure, if the other party wants to agree with you again. Once you've terminated, the other party is without obligation unless they want to agree again.
How does one become immune to smallpox?
There are quite a few ways to become immune to smallpox. One way is that you can be infected with the disease Cowpox. Which is not deadly in anyway but is a disease nobody wants to have. Another way is, you can infect your self with smallpox and give yourself a mild case of it. It is proven that once you had smallpox and you survived you never get it again, by infecting yourself mildly you can become immune to it. Correction mild case of smallpox is cowpox if u become infected with cowpox u become immune to smallpox and cowpox for the rest of your life it is like a vaccination but instead of being shot with it u actually become sick but once you get over it your completely immune to it or any other more serious case of the illness.
