Smallpox is different in that only humans get it.  Covid probably can't be completely eliminated because there seem to animals that carry it.  That's part of the reason influenza can't be eliminated.

Smallpox became extinct in 1977, if not for the opposition from right wing religious people who violently opposed vaccinations (and I do mean violently) it could've happened a century earlier.  And just five years ago it looked like polio was on the verge of extinction, but right wing religious anti-vaccination nuts in the USA and Afghanistan and elsewhere have made a comeback and thus polio has made a come back too.
