The risk of getting smallpox (variola) is nonexistent at this time. The disease has been eradicated by an aggressive world-wide campaign. The last case of smallpox occurred in Somalia in 1977, and the World Health Assembly declared the official eradication of the disease in 1980.
At this time, the variola organism is known to exist only in 2 carefully monitored government laboratories in the US and Russia.
