Safety Summary DoD Smallpox Vaccination Program Safety Summary, July 12, 2005 Background: On December 13, 2002, the President directed smallpox vaccinations for selected military personnel, government workers, and contracted workers. DoD vaccinations began immediately for emergency response personnel and hospital staff members. Comprehensive training programs in vaccination technique, infection-control safeguards, screening and education methods, adverse event monitoring, and product storage and handling, aggressively launched in October 2002, made immediate vaccinations possible. In early January 2003, DoD began smallpox vaccinations of selected US military forces, and emergency-essential civilians and contractors deployed or deploying in support of U.S. Central Command missions. Program Status: DoD operational forces and healthcare workers vaccinated against smallpox: over 800,000. Detail about the DoD program appeared in the June 25, 2003 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).The abstract of that article appears after the following summation of the program’s current status:

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Official: Threat of smallpox bioterrorism real WASHINGTON (CNN) The threat of smallpox as a bioterrorist weapon is real and health officials are doing everything they can to "keep the citizens of our nation safe" from such an attack, the head of the National Institutes of Health said Friday. A smallpox attack is just one of many potential bioterrorism threats, but "perhaps it is the most frightening," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the NIH. "It's a virus that's easily transmitted from person to person through aerosolized droplets from saliva and other body fluids," said Fauci, speaking before a Senate panel. "It is unlike anthrax in that it can be transmitted from person to person and not just a danger by a direct contact." Smallpox, a highly contagious virus that kills at least 30 percent of its victims and disfigures many who survive, was eradicated from the globe more than two decades ago. Scientists retained stocks of the variola virus, which causes tjhe disease, and stored them in secure laboratories in Atlanta, Georgia, and Moscow, Russia.

Variola virus Micrograph of the smallpox virus Virus classification Group: Group I dsDNA Family: Poxviridae Genus: Orthopoxvirus Species: Variola virus Smallpox (also known by the Latin names Variola or Variola vera ) is a highly contagious disease unique to humans. It is caused by two virus variants called Variola major and Variola minor. V. major is the more deadly form, with a typical mortality of 20-40 percent of those infected. The other type, V. minor, only kills 1% of its victims. Many survivors are left blind in one or both eyes from corneal ulcerations, and persistent skin scarring - pockmarks - is nearly universal. Smallpox was responsible for an estimated 300-500 million deaths in the 20th century. As recently as , The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 15 million people contracted the disease and that two million died in that year. After successful vaccination campaigns, the

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Scientist: Diluted smallpox vaccines effective The smallpox virus as seen through a microsope. WASHINGTON (CNN) A nearly completed study indicates that diluted forms of smallpox vaccine are effective, meaning the current national vaccine supply of 15 million doses can be diluted to 150 million doses, a leading government scientist said Sunday. "I can say with some certainty that it's been a successful experiment," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN. "If you look at the data in the aggregate, it's what we had hoped," said Fauci, citing a study that has been completed but not yet presented publicly or published. In 1980, after an extensive vaccination program, the World Health Assembly (the annual meeting of World Health Organization members) declared smallpox eradicated from the world and recommended ceasing all vaccinations, including those of children. The disease came under the microscope again after September 11 amid concerns that terrorists could kill millions by unleashing smallpox or other deadly viruses on the public.

The Human Proteome Folding Project The Cancer Research Project Past Projects Volunteer your CPU to power global research Powered by the United Devices Grid MP platform Login? Introduction About the project Research participants ... Project Forum The Smallpox Project Smallpox was eliminated from the world in 1977 by a World Health Organization campaign. Despite this, stocks of the variola virus are known to exist and its use as a weapon of bioterrorism remains a frightening possibility. With vaccination having ended in 1972, the world population is highly susceptible. The availability of drugs to counter the virus would be a major defense. There is a possible molecular target whose blockade would prevent the ravages of an infection. We intend to use grid computing to screen millions of potential anti-smallpox drugs against this target. This will involve the use of the United Devices Grid MP Global, which we have successfully used in the past towards cancer and anthrax research. The project can harness millions of computers belonging to people in over two hundred countries, all of whom will benefit from protection against smallpox. Join the Fight by Joining the Grid You yourself can participate and assist in this important effort. By downloading and running the UD Agent, you add your CPU to the global grid. Every time your computer is idle, you contribute your computing resource to the grid, accelerating the screening process while dramatically reducing the cost of the project. The result: Rather than spending years to screen hundreds of thousands of molecules, it will be possible to screen hundreds of millions of molecules in just months.

Introduction About the project Research participants ... Smallpox Project Smallpox Project FAQs What is smallpox? The smallpox or variola virus is the most virulent member of the orthopox genus of viruses. It is specific for humans and has no other animal hosts. Smallpox was eliminated from the world in 1977 however stocks of the variola virus are known to exist and its use as a weapon of bioterrorism remains a frightening possibility. The availability of drugs to counter the virus would be a major defense. Why develop a cure for smallpox? There is already a vaccine! The vaccine is very successful in eradicating the variola virus but the vaccine does have serious side effects. There are, on average, two deaths per million vaccinations and several hundred people would have serious side effects. Additionally people whose immune system is not functioning correctly must not be given the vaccine. These would include young children, pregnant mothers and people on certain medication. It is also suggested that a "weapons grade" smallpox virus may be different to the natural variola virus. In fact, the US government is stockpiling a different strain of the vaccinia virus compared with the one UK government has started collecting. I had the vaccine, so I don't need a protection drug!
