title: Can smallpox response teams use the experience of disease management programs?
abstract: Any attempt to widely disperse smallpox vaccinations will necessitate educating people about the risks and benefits of vaccination. Most disease management programs have extensive experience in distributing educational materials and programs to health care workers and patients as well as in tracking response to interventions. Can this experience lend a hand in the event of widespread vaccination?
