In Canada, routine smallpox vaccination was halted in 1972 following the World Health Organization's successful global eradication campaign, which declared smallpox eradicated in 1980. Vaccination was primarily administered to specific high-risk groups, such as healthcare workers and laboratory personnel, until 1980. After that, the vaccine was no longer part of the standard immunization schedule for the general population.
Edward Jenner tested his smallpox vaccine on a young boy named James Phipps. In 1796, Jenner inoculated Phipps with material taken from a cowpox sore, which led to the discovery that exposure to cowpox could provide immunity against smallpox. This groundbreaking experiment laid the foundation for the development of the smallpox vaccine.
