1972 Yugoslav smallpox outbreak received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.
"While there are ample resources documenting the (ongoing) U.S. policy debate regarding smallpox vaccination, there are far fewer accessible documents discussing in great detail the Yugoslavian smallpox epidemic of 1972. The most relevant sources documenting the latter were written in the 1970s in the former Yugoslavia, and are unfortunately diffcult to find. However, the Cobeljic article in particular provides a wonderful account of the facts of that epidemic, including epidemiology and control. Current U.S. literature discussing vaccination options often refers to the Yugoslavia epidemic but only superficially. Further research on the Yugoslavia case would benefit from access to archives in Belgrade." cf http://www8.georgetown.edu/centers/cndls/applications/postertool/index.cfm?fuseaction=poster.display&posterID=881 Wouldn't it be usefull to recall this ?Trente7cinq (talk) 21:54, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I was 5 years old (going on six) when this happen but remember quite vividly the vaccination. Perhaps because it happened in the middle of the night. That was when the speed boat carrying the vaccine reached out island. The doctor, his wife and a nurse went door to door waking up everyone to gather at the ambulance. My mom wrapped me in a blanket, people put on slippers and house coats and off they went. The doctors were working full speed administering vaccines. We all lined up, rolled up our sleeves, got jabbed and went back to bed. No complaining, no protesting, save for some babies and small kids who were crying, but other than that, everything went so smooth. And that is the extent of that. The life went on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.31.139.176 (talk) 16:24, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
