I was wondering what everyone thinks about the smallpox vaccine. If and when the vaccine becomes available, it has been reccommended that all ER personell should be vaccinated. After doing some research, I'm not sure that I would want to take that risk. I work in a fairly busy (37,000 pts./yr.) community ED in upstate NY.....don't think we would be at risk,except for the nuclear research lab that is located about 30 miles outside of our city.
What will you do if this becomes a reality????
