Example Early Detection of Smallpox

• 1949Last reported case in the United States
• 1978Last reported case on Earth
• 10-12 Day Incubation Period
• Highly Contagious
• 30 Fatality Rate
• Weaponized by Soviets Others
• Vaccine is effective only before symptoms
  manifest
• Vaccination ceased in US in 1972
• Vaccination immunity acquired before 1972 has
  waned
