CDC Bioterrorism Update: Smallpox Preparedness - Part 2

Course Number: EM0003

This program is part of a series of satellite broadcasts/webcasts that originally aired December 5, 6, and 20, 2002 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Implementation of a vaccination plan for smallpox preparedness and response will require a variety of persons in state and local health departments, hospitals, and other healthcare settings to receive general education and training on smallpox and smallpox vaccine issues. Some personnel, e.g. smallpox vaccine clinic personnel, clinicians who may evaluate and treat adverse events, will need detailed information. Hospital administrators and hospital-based clinicians will need information to make informed decisions about program participation and possible vaccination sequelae. Primary care physicians will also need basic clinical information, including evaluation of patients with rash/suspected smallpox, screening issues for potential vaccinees who may seek their advice, and management and referral of adverse reactions following vaccination.

A certificate of attendance will be awarded to participants who register for this program and complete the online evaluation.
