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.
