[EMED-L] Should we ER/Healthcare workers get smallpox vaccine? (fwd)

[F. Marc de Piolenc]

Nice to know the government is doing something sensible. 

If I were in this ER worker's shoes, I'd be scrambling to find the line
for smallpox vaccination. His risk of exposure is not negligible, while
the risk from the vaccine is very small. A slam dunk, in my humble
opinion.
