Yes, smallpox has been completely eradicated worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared smallpox eradicated in 1980 after a successful global vaccination campaign. The last natural outbreak occurred in 1977, and since then, there have been no reported cases of the disease. Today, smallpox virus samples are maintained only in secure laboratories for research purposes.
