Answer:

After world health authorities declared smallpox had been eradicated from nature in 1980, Wyeth stopped making the vaccine. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) kept a stockpile for use in case of emergency. In 2003 this supply helped contain an outbreak of monkeypox in the United States.
