In the center was former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director, Dr. David Sencer. At this ceremony, Rebecca Ansah Asamoah was designated the world’s 25-millionth smallpox vaccinee, and presented honors to the scientific community responsible for this achievement. In 1977, the last case of naturally-contracted smallpox was recorded in Somalia.
