Does the smallpox vaccine wear off?

The devil is in the details of exactly what you are referring to here. Do you mean: Can a person who has been vaccinated against smallpox then catch it at a later date, and while not getting sick from it, transmit it to others? Ans: In general, no. The vaccination not only keeps you healthy, but stops the virus in your body. Can a person who has recently been vaccinated against smallpox pass on smallpox to someone else? Ans: No, we don't use weakened variola virus (smallpox virus) to inoculate people. Can a person who has been recently vaccinated against smallpox using the standard live vaccinia virus type vaccine pass on a vaccinia virus infection to other people? Ans: Yes! And, it can be dangerous. That's why people should be careful with their fresh smallpox vaccination wounds. Can a person who has been recently vaccinated with the newest MVA-type smallpox vaccinations pass on a vaccinia infection on to others? Ans: No. At least theoretically not. But, it's so new, we can't say for absolute certain.


Can you get rid of the Smallpox?

Smallpox has been eradicated in the year 1977. Edward Jenner found a vaccine for the disease. Donald Henderson created ring immunization, which got rid of smallpox for good. Ring Immunization was the process of when an area had smallpox, everyone else in that area would get vaccinated... ---- I think that's how they got rid of smallpox. I'd check other sources if I were you like the CDC website.
