| Summary: | The Balmis Expedition from Spain to the New World in 1806, launched off the heels of Jenner's publication on vaccinia vaccine a few years previously, was likely the world's first eradication initiative. The mission was to eradicate the deadly smallpox from the Americas and beyond. That goal, over a century and a half later conceptualized and implemented under the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO), was eventually realized. The core content of this book is designed to reflect the teaching elements of an intensive, one-week eradication course given first to graduate students at the School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University (JHU) in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, during the summer of 2012. |
