Also known as ring vaccination. Crucial to eradication of smallpox (less vaccine/money needed).

From http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=23979:
"The vaccination of all susceptible individuals in a prescribed area around an outbreak of an infectious disease. Ring vaccination controls an outbreak by vaccinating and monitoring a ring of people around each infected individual. The idea is to form a buffer of immune individuals to prevent the spread of the disease."
