Smallpox Vaccines Coming?
Federal health officials today instructed states to prepare to vaccinate every American in the event of a biological attack using smallpox, and issued a detailed plan showing how each state could quickly inoculate as many as one million people in the first 10 days. Not even the so-called 'saber-rattling' and positioning troops closer to Iraq disturb me as much as hearing that we're seriously proceeding with smallpox vaccines. I suppose that's because smallpox has the potential to directly effect me. Although I do believe I had that shot in grade school. I'll have to research this a little further. I wonder if anyone else remembers having vaccines in school? [via: nytimes.com]
