CDC and the Smallpox Crusade
December 31, 1987
"This volume, written by Mr Horace G. Odgen. is intended to serve a complementary purpose. It records in some detail the events that led to CDC's involvment in smallpox eradication, the excitement and formidable challenges of the Smallpox Eradication/Measles Control Program in West and Central Africa, which was funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) and largely executed by CDC, and the considerable scope of CDC's participation in other aspects of the worldwide campaign. The perspective provided on these events and the details of their formulation and implementation may provide valuable lessons for those who carry out future public health programs."
