Implementation of vaccination plans for smallpox preparedness and
response will require a variety of persons in state and local health
departments, hospitals, and other healthcare settings to receive
information on smallpox and smallpox vaccine issues. This program
will assist stakeholders in planning and preparation for vaccinating
public health and healthcare response personnel who would be needed
to provide care for and implement control strategies for initial
smallpox cases.
This broadcast will be presented in a series of modules targeted
toward state and local health department and clinical personnel.
State and local health department personnel will need information
to guide their planning for establishing public health and healthcare
response teams, and details regarding setting up smallpox vaccination
delivery, administration, and follow-up. Detailed information
will be provided for smallpox vaccine clinic personnel and clinicians
who may evaluate and treat adverse events. Information will be
provided to hospital administrators and hospital-based clinicians
to help with decisions about program participation and possible
vaccination sequelae. Basic clinical information will be provided
to primary care physicians, including evaluation of patients with
rash illness /suspected smallpox, screening issues for potential
vaccinees who may seek their advice, and management and referral
of adverse reactions following vaccination.
The component modules will be presented in a two-day distance
learning satellite broadcast and webcast on December 5-6, 2002.
Following the live program, the information presented will be available
in a variety of formats, including videotape and CD-ROM. See Media below
for further information.
