Smallpox transmission was interrupted in the Republic of Guinea in January 1969, 13 months after the beginning of the National Smallpox Eradication Program, and after approximately 60% of the population had been mass vaccinated. The eradication strategy was founded on the recent epidemiology of smallpox in Guinea and surrounding countries. Tactics were based on use of mobile teams specifically trained for mass vaccination, assessment, surveillance, and epidemic investigation. Guinea was one of 15 West African countries officially certified by the World Health Organization in 1976 as having eradicated smallpox. Continued vigilance to detect any possible importation is needed and would best be part of a program to improve quarantinable disease surveillance. An acceptable immunity level to smallpox should be maintained in priority groups until worldwide smallpox eradication is achieved.
1969年1月，在全国天花根除计划启动13个月后，以及约60%的人口接种大规模疫苗后，几内亚共和国的天花传播被阻断。根除战略基于几内亚及周边国家近期的天花流行病学情况。策略是利用专门为大规模疫苗接种、评估、监测和疫情调查而训练的流动小组。几内亚是1976年被世界卫生组织正式认证已根除天花的15个西非国家之一。需要持续保持警惕以发现任何可能的输入病例，这最好成为改善检疫疾病监测计划的一部分。在全球实现天花根除之前，应优先保持重点人群对天花的可接受免疫水平。
