At the beginning of this century the compulsory vaccination and revaccination which was legally founded after the introduction of the vaccination by Jenner (1796) led to the removal of the smallpox in Europe and Northern America. However, up to the sixties in the developing countries of Asia, Africa as well as of Southern America and Middle America still fell ill and died of small-pox millions of people. Between 1953 and 1973 importations into countries of Europe and Northern America took place in 51 cases. In 1959 on the motion of the USSR the WHO decided performance of a world-wide eradication programme of small-pox which could be led to success with comprehensive personal, material and financial support of many countries. Flanking scientific, technological and methodical measures were of essential importance. In May 1980 the World Health Assembly in Geneva announced in solemn form the world-wide eradication of the small-pox and gave recommendations to the member countries for concluding measures concerning the small-pox vaccination, the foundation of vaccine reserves and the control of the epidemiological situation in the world. Also in the GDR the small-pox vaccination in childhood could be abolished.
本世纪初，在詹纳（1796年）引入疫苗接种后依法确立的强制接种和复种导致欧洲和北美天花绝迹。然而，直到六十年代，亚洲、非洲、南美洲以及中美洲的发展中国家仍有数百万人感染天花并死亡。1953年至1973年间，欧洲和北美国家有51次天花输入病例。1959年，应苏联提议，世界卫生组织决定实施全球天花根除计划，在许多国家全面的人员、物资和资金支持下，该计划得以成功。辅助性的科学、技术和方法措施至关重要。1980年5月，日内瓦的世界卫生大会庄严宣布全球根除天花，并向成员国提出了有关天花疫苗接种、疫苗储备建立以及全球疫情控制的收尾措施建议。在民主德国，儿童期的天花疫苗接种也得以取消。
