Bill Foege was the person that directed the smallpox campaign in Nigeria. As they did not have enough vaccines for everyone, he decided to rely on a strategy called ring vaccination to keep the program alive. He turned to Nigeria’s extensive network of missionaries for help and also to school children. Thanks to all of this, the campaign was successful.
