Smallpox vaccines were routinely given as part of infant immunizations in Cairo in the late 1980's. I've got living proof sitting on the couch watching TV :)

They didn't use live smallpox virus for the vaccines so there wasn't any danger of creating a human carrier state. I will have to research the virus they used - it was related but was attenuated (weakened) so it was safe in people who were not immunocompromised.
