Do you know who will be vaccinated at your ED?
The administration of the smallpox vaccine is imminent, so emergency department managers are making difficult decisions about which individuals should be vaccinated. If all attending physicians are vaccinated, these individuals can care for patients with suspected smallpox. Consider offering vaccine first to staff who have been immunized previously. Survey staff to find out which individuals have contraindications for the vaccine.
