The announcement came after meeting with top federal health officials. President Bush is prepared to announce in coming days the first large-scale smallpox vaccinations in more than two decades a controversial plan because the vaccine can have serious side effects, including in rare cases death. Under the plan, about 500,000 health care workers will get the smallpox vaccination, followed up by a second wave of vaccinations for 7 million to 10 million other health workers, firefighters, police and first responders, according to a top government official. Andrew Stern, the president of the Service Employees International Union, which represents 1.5 million health-care workers, said union members will be encouraged to take the vaccine.

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Is it time to revive smallpox vaccinations? By Christy Feig CNN Medical Unit (CNN) Americans haven't been routinely vaccinated for smallpox since 1972. But the federal government is debating whether a program should be restarted. "The White House is reviewing my recommendations, and hopefully we'll have a decision in the near future," said Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson. The World Health Organization declared smallpox eradicated worldwide in 1979, but experts said they are concerned the existing virus from labs could fall into the hands of terrorists. "I would say that the risk of a smallpox attack is very real," said U.S. Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tennessee, who is also a physician. "I would say that that risk is increasing compared to say five or 10 years ago, and I would say as a nation that we do remain highly vulnerable if smallpox is used as an instrument of war." Most Americans under 30 haven't been vaccinated, and it's questionable how long the vaccine protects those who have been. For example, one study found that of 621 microbiologists in Maryland who received smallpox revaccination between 1994 and 2001 as a precautionary measure, 6 percent remained immune from their previous vaccinations.

Colonel Henry Bouquet to General Amherst, dated 29 June 1763. Lord Jeff Lord Jeffrey The town of Amherst, Massachusetts , was named for Lord Jeff even before he became a Lord. Amherst College was later named after the town. It is said the local inhabitants who formed the town preferred another name, Norwottuck , after the Indians whose land it had been; the colonial governor substituted his choice for theirs. Frank Prentice Rand, in his book, The Village of Amherst: A Landmark of Light [Amherst, MA: Amherst Historical Society, 1958], says that at the time of the naming, Amherst was "the most glamorous military hero in the New World. ... ...the name was so obvious in 1759 as to be almost inevitable."

Print entire article Bouquet's blankets In 1992, a Soviet defector revealed to Western intelligence that he had overseen an extensive, illegal programme to develop smallpox into a highly effective biological weapon. Britain and the United States were shocked by the revelations. Russia's intent to use biological weapons, they claimed, was morally abhorrent. But a closer look at the history of biological weapons shows that Britain and America both played seminal roles in turning lethal diseases into weapons of war. In fact, Britain was probably the first nation to come up with the idea of using smallpox to kill its adversaries.

Smallpox is an acute infectious disease caused by a virus. No one has naturally contracted smallpox since 1977. Smallpox was declared eradicated from the earth in 1980.

There are two types of smallpox: variola major and variola minor. Variola major is the more severe form and has a 30-50% fatality rate among those who are unvaccinated (3% in vaccinated persons).

WASHINGTON (CNN) Eyeing a national smallpox vaccination program they say is stalled, House Democrats are urging the U.S. government to reinvigorate the plan for health-care workers if officials still believe terrorists may use smallpox as a weapon. The White House unveiled a plan more than a year ago calling for vaccinations of as many as half a million health-care workers on a voluntary basis within a month. But in the time since the announcement, fewer than 40,000 medical personnel have been vaccinated nationwide. "Either the administration needs to tell the country that smallpox is not an urgent threat, or it needs to take immediate action to get us prepared," said U.S. Rep. Jim Turner, D-Texas.

Smallpox Introduction Definition Smallpox is a highly contagious and virulent, often fatal infectious disease caused by variola virus, a large orthopoxvirus of the family Poxviridae, subfamily Chordopoxvirinae. The 2 classic varieties of smallpox are variola major and variola minor, each of which confers immunity against the other. Variola minor is less virulent and is found mainly in South America and West Africa. Hemorrhagic smallpox is a severe and highly fatal variety of the disease in which hemorrhages develop in the skin and mucous membranes. Flat smallpox is a severe variety in which lesions do not project above the skin surface. Synonyms Smallpox is also known as variola or variola vera. Variola minor has many synonyms and local names, such as alastrim, amaas, cottonpox, milkpox, whitepox, and Cuban itch. Smallpox is often subdivided according to clinical presentation into variola vera discreta (discrete papules) and variola vera confluens (confluent papules). Hemorrhagic smallpox, also known as fulminant smallpox, is subdivided clinically into purpura variolosa and variola pustulosa haemorrhagica ( ). Malignant smallpox is another name for flat smallpox.
