Yes, often.

It was part of a campaign to eradicate smallpox. Vaccination became mandatory in about 1850.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
