Smallpox

• Viral infection

• Person to person spread

• 30% death rate

• 1949 – Last case in US

• 1972 – Stopped routine vaccination in US

• 1977 – Last naturally occurring case in world

Page 3: 1 Preparing for Smallpox: Post-event Smallpox Response.

Smallpox

• Vaccination is effective in preventing infection if given in advance or within 3 days of exposure

Page 4: 1 Preparing for Smallpox: Post-event Smallpox Response.

4

Smallpox

• Recent intelligence indicates four countries have stockpiles of the virus– Iraq– North Korea– France– Russia

Page 5: 1 Preparing for Smallpox: Post-event Smallpox Response.

5

Mass Vaccination Plan

• We must be prepared for the possibility of a terrorist attack in which smallpox is used as a biological weapon

• The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has instructed state public health agencies to develop and be ready to implement plans to immunize the entire population of the state in a 10-day period if such an attack were to occur

Page 6: 1 Preparing for Smallpox: Post-event Smallpox Response.

6

Mass Vaccination Plan

• Clinic demographics– One clinic per 50,000 population, 117 clinics

statewide– Each clinic serves 5000 patients per day– Each clinic operates 2 shifts per day, for 10

days straight– Each clinic staffed by over 200 people, over

100 per shift

Page 7: 1 Preparing for Smallpox: Post-event Smallpox Response.

7

Mass Vaccination Plan

• Where possible, the number of people identified to work in clinics should be increased by 20% with cross-trained personnel to allow for no-shows, breaks, surge needs and other contingencies

Page 8: 1 Preparing for Smallpox: Post-event Smallpox Response.

8

Clinic Volunteers

• 25,000-30,000 people needed to staff 117 clinics statewide

• Only 4,500 public health staff in the state

• In order to assure our ability to protect our families and communities, we need volunteers to work with public health staff to operate these clinics

Page 9: 1 Preparing for Smallpox: Post-event Smallpox Response.

KNOX COUNTY MASS VACCINATION PLAN

• 8 Clinics planned in Knox County – High school sites– Transportation, parking, security plan– Administration plan

• Two 8 hour shifts a day (16 hour days)

• Approximately 2,000 - 3,000 volunteers needed

• Volunteers would be vaccinated first, along with their family members

Page 10: 1 Preparing for Smallpox: Post-event Smallpox Response.
