What else can I help you with?
Why did you think that the british government introduced compulsory vaccination in 1853?
An effort to control a very nasty disease (Smallpox) that killed many people.
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 can you use immune in a compound sentence?
John Doe was not immune to irrational thinking but liked to think of himself as a throughgoing rationalist. Vaccination will make you immune to smallpox, but you will need a booster shot after a few years.
Why the milkmaids did not get infected with smallpox?
Well, I think it is the case that cowpox is just a lesser, bovine version of smallpox. Milk maids would get cowpox simply because they were exposed to cattle constantly, much more than the average person, who was more likely to get smallpox than cowcox. A scientist called Edward Jenner observed that milk maids, who often got cowpox, never seemed to get smallpox. This was because milk maids would develop immunity to cowpox (and therefore smallpox) once they had fallen ill and recovered from cowpox. He then tested this theory on a young boy. He did this by injecting cowpox into the boy's blood stream; the boy then fell ill with cowpox. After the boy recovered from cowpox, the scientist then injected him with the life-threatening disease smallpox. The result proved his theory right; the injection of smallpox into the boy's bloodstream had had no effect on him, because his body had developed immunity to the disease. If you wish to learn more about vaccination and immunities, then research antibodies, antigens and vaccination and the way in which they all work.
What illnesses can you get foma donkey?
I can only think of two diseases: strangles (Streptococcus equi) and horse pox. The latter is a good thing to have, though, as it protects you against smallpox.
What percent of Aztecs died from smallpox?

What are risk factors of Smallpox?
Small Pox is an infectious disease, so you'd think there would be a high risk, but, a vaccination for Small Pox was created and now Small Pox has been almost 100% eradicated except for a few chemical labs that dot the world.
Which president survived smallpox?
Andrew Jackson, I think, had some small pox scars.
Why do some people not get vaccinated?
Someone may choose to not be vaccinated against certain diseases if it is against their beliefs, if they think that it can harm them or if the vaccination is new and they are worried about side effects and long term effects.

Who patented vaccination?
You can't patent something so general, so nobody. A specific vaccination maybe, but still I don't think it works like that either.
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.
