Address risks of staff who get smallpox vaccine.
You'll need a policy to reduce risks of inadvertent transmission of the smallpox virus to address staff participation in the military's vaccination program. Vaccinated staff must wash hands, especially after touching the vaccination site or bandages. Implement Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to avoid transmission to staff, patients, and visitors. Have newly vaccinated staff avoid contact with immunocompromised patients if possible.
