There is something here about the 1871 outbreak and hospitals.  http://www.portcities.org.uk/london/server/show/ConNarrative.68/chapterId/1649/Containing-smallpox-in-Victorian-London.html

Smallpox wasn't really wiped out until the 1960s see Wikepedia

If you really want to know about smallpox, have a look a the Jenner Institute website.

I have a gruncle to died in 1901 from an adverse reaction to a samllpox vaccination in the Whittington Hospital, so even having the vax didn't always work.
