Do you still have to get the smallpox vaccine if you don't go overseas?

No: There is a very good section on the website from the center for disease control and prevention (cdc.Gov) with great information on immunizations recommended for people living in or traveling to many places throughout the world. It's the ultimate authority and very easy to get to.
