Thursday, October 16, 2003Walter Orenstein, director of the National Immunization Program, says the smallpox program is being folded into a broader effort in which medical workers and labs are preparing to respond to a variety of bioterrorist weapons. Homeland Security Department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse says the plan has accomplished what it set out to do. 'We are pleased that the program has inoculated enough first responders and health care workers that could respond should there be an outbreak of smallpox,' he says. We'll just have to hold our breath and hope that no terrorist groups have access to smallpox. At least if things go badly, no one can point to the federal government and say that they refused to provide the vaccine. We'll have only ourselves to blame. posted by Sydney on 10/16/2003 06:39:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
