摘要

To the Editor: In 1947, millions ofNew Yorkers received smallpox vacci-nations, an accomplishment still appro-priately held up as an example of pub-lic health planning and mobilization.Although now mythological, a reviewof the events of April 1947, fromcopies of The New York Times (1–9),tells of a more recognizably humanresponse: pushing, jawing, deceit,shortages, surpluses, and perhaps aunusual way of counting vaccinees. In March 1947, a patient who hadrecently visited Mexico traveled bybus to New York City. He became ill,was hospitalized, and, after his death,found to have had smallpox. The occa-sional case of smallpox had been seenin the area for decades since the lastbig outbreak in 1875, which had killed2,000 New Yorkers. However, in1947, a second case and then a thirdappeared, and authorities became con-cerned. On April 4, Israel Weinstein,the New York City Health Com-missioner, urged all New Yorkers whohad not been vaccinated since child-hood to receive another vaccination
