The last case of smallpox in the United States was in 1949. The last naturally occurring case in the world was in Somalia in 1977. After the disease was eliminated from the world, routine vaccination against smallpox among the general public was stopped because it was no longer necessary for prevention.

The last person in the world with naturally occurring smallpox was a Somali named Ali Maow Maalin. He had the less severe form of the disease (but smallpox nonetheless) caused by the virus variola minor in 1977.

I think it was in the 1980s- a US HIV-positive soldier after receiving a vaccination
