Summary
In the early 1900s, an average of 1,528 Americans died from smallpox each year. A few decades later, that number was zero. In the early 1950s, there were 16,316 cases of polio each year, with a mortality rate of over 10 percent. By the 1980s, the number of cases was in the single digits. For measles, the numbers dropped from 508,282 cases and 432 deaths per year in the 1950s and 1960s to fewer than 100 cases and zero deaths per year in the 1990s.
