SMALLPOX: The Disease, The Vaccine, Safety and Workplace Issues NEW GOVERNMENT WEB SITE: HHS - Smallpox NEW HEALTH AND SAFETY FACT SHEETS: Smallpox Smallpox Vaccine: What Workers Need To Know Before Volunteering To Be Vaccinated Smallpox Vaccine: Health and Workplace Protections The Bush Administration has announced its smallpox vaccination policy that will initially call for voluntary vaccination of 500,000 to one million health care workers. A second wave of vaccinations would include up to an additional 10 million health care and other emergency responders in a second wave. The Administration also is likely to address the issue of whether to make the smallpox vaccine available to the general public. Decisions concerning whether and who to vaccinate are complicated and controversial. A successful worldwide public health effort rid the world of smallpox over twenty years ago. While the smallpox vaccine is effective at preventing the disease, the vaccine itself can cause serious and even life-threatening side effects. As a result, there is disagreement about the extent to which workers and others should be exposed to the risks of the vaccine in the absence of any smallpox cases (pre-event)

With the voluntary vaccination of health care workers under way nationwide, the study's results underscore the need for strict adherence to safety guidelines, the researchers said. The federal Centers of Disease Control and Prevention recommends daily inspection and bandaging of the vaccine site, meticulous hand-washing after contact and administrative leave if vaccination-related complications develop. "Successful implementation of this policy will require the complete cooperation of every vaccinated health-care worker to avoid complications among vulnerable hospital patients," said the study by Dr. Perry Smith and Hwa-Gan Chang of New York's health department and Dr. Kent Sepkowitz of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. The study appears in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association.
