Why it is possible to develop a vaccine to prevent smallpox but it is difficult to develop a vaccine to prevent the common cold?
Developing a vaccine for smallpox was feasible because the virus, Variola, has a stable and well-defined structure, allowing for effective targeting by the immune system. In contrast, the common cold is primarily caused by a variety of viruses, predominantly rhinoviruses, which mutate rapidly and have numerous strains. This genetic variability makes it challenging to create a single vaccine that would be effective against all possible variants. Additionally, the common cold typically causes mild symptoms, reducing the urgency for vaccine development compared to more severe diseases like smallpox.

It is possible to implement food hygiene laws. All these help to prevent diseases and improve the health of a population.
Is the vaccine that is given to prevent smallpox contains a strain of a live?
Yes, the vaccine used to prevent smallpox contains a live virus known as vaccinia, which is a related virus but not the smallpox virus itself. This live attenuated virus stimulates the immune system to provide protection against smallpox. While the vaccine is effective, it can cause side effects and is generally not given to the general public since smallpox has been eradicated.
