---------------------------
NEW! September 23, 2002 - The CDC Smallpox Response Plan and Guidelines now contains a very important addition to our smallpox preparedness efforts—a comprehensive annex titled "Smallpox Vaccination Clinic Guide." This new section—part of the upcoming Version 3 of the CDC Smallpox Response Plan and Guidelines-describes the operational and logistical considerations associated with implementing a large-scale voluntary vaccination program in response to a confirmed smallpox outbreak. This provides details on all aspects of immunization clinic operations and staffing and includes an example of a model smallpox vaccination clinic.
