in the U.S. since 1949 due to vaccination efforts, says the CDC. Because of that, the general public is no longer vaccinated against it. Despite its elimination, scientists still study the virus and develop vaccines to protect people in the event that it’s used as a weapon. Health officials say bioterrorism -- the intentional release of a virus, or germ, that can hurt or kill people -- is unlikely, but still something they need to be prepared for.
