ring vaccination
Ring vaccination is a method of disease control strategy in which only those individuals that are most likely to be infected, such as those in close proximity to a diagnosed individual, are vaccinated. This technique creates a "ring" of immunization preventing the spread of the disease beyond that area. It was used most notably to control the spread of smallpox. The purpose is to control an outbreak or eliminate a disease from a specific population.
