With demand lacking, smallpox vaccine expiring.
The Bush administration's campaign to vaccinate health care workers against smallpox has proved unpopular, largely because of concerns about the safety of the vaccine and who would pay for any needed medical treatment. State health departments have destroyed about 61,000 doses of expired vaccine--substantially more than the number actually administered.
