The Bradford Smallpox Outbreak in 1962: A Personal Account

Today it is fervently hoped that outbreaks of smallpox such as that which occurred in Bradford in 1962 will never arise again. However, it is unwise to be sure of ‘never’. In 1962, just after I was appointed consultant pathologist in Bradford, isolated cases had been reported in England, but these were amongst people from South East Asia who had recently arrived in the UK. The Bradford outbreak had several unusual features, particularly the events leading up to its discovery.1 Since I am one of the declining number of persons still alive who were heavily involved in the outbreak I am persuaded that my experiences at the time are worth recording.
