I think the US stopped routine smallpox vaccinations in 1972 because the alleged risks from the vaccine were said to outweigh the chance of contracting smallpox. A global campaign was said to have eradicated smallpox by 1978. I don't think you can even get a vaccination now unless there were an outbreak.
