The DoD Smallpox Vaccination Training curriculum is an online course that will provide Military Healthcare Personel with important and comprehensive information concerning the smallpox vaccine. It is also designed to prepare healthcare personnel to administer smallpox vaccinations and perform required administrative tasks in support of the DoD's Smallpox Vaccination Program.

Completion of this training program satisfies the DoD requirement that all medical personnel participating in smallpox vaccination first complete an approved course of smallpox training.

This curriculum includes eight modules; an introduction and seven training modules, and can be completed in approximately 2.5 hours.

A certificate of completion will be available for download after the completion of all the course modules.
