HHS Resource
The
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has launched a new Web site (www.smallpox.gov) that provides answers
to questions about smallpox and the President's vaccination plan. HHS recommends the site for those who
will be receiving the smallpox vaccination
or are considering whether or not to get vaccinated. contact dell support
CDC Resource
Another resource for potential recipients of the smallpox vaccine
is a new presentation on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Web site. The presentation is an
archived version of a recent satellite broadcast on preparing potential
smallpox response team volunteers to make an informed decision about vaccination. Targeted at hospital staff members
who may be potential smallpox vaccine recipients, the CDC presentation
provides information about the conditions that increase the risk of a serious
complication and instructions for caring
for the vaccination site to avoid transmission of the vaccine
virus. The presentation also explains the rationale for
vaccination, describes the risks of vaccination to individuals and their
families, demonstrates how the vaccine is administered, describes mild
and serious vaccine complications and how they would be treated; and discusses compensation issues for
persons who experience vaccine complications. The presentation is available at www.cdc.gov/smallpox.
New England Journal of Medicine Resource
The
New England Journal of Medicine has
published a series of articles on its Web site (www.nejm.org)
to help to inform the current national debate about smallpox. The articles listed below will appear
in the January 30, 2003, print edition of the Journal.
