"many Americans would want to have access to the vaccine."

Here we go again! I and millions of others want access to the vaccine NOW, not just once an epidemic has broken out.

Yea, yea, yea, I know all about the risk/reward ratio. But whose decision is it, anyway? For me and my children, the decision is MINE.

Growing up in the 1950's and then being a part of the military for the past 30+ years, I have had my share of smallpox innoculations. I do not remember when the latest was, but probably 20+ years ago. The site from that vaccination has still not healed. When I left active duty, I questioned the doctor performing my separation physical about it. I was told that continual bleeding and scabbing at the site should be the least of my worries as she had seen amputations due to infections at the vaccination area.

any idea how long the period of time is from vaccine to immune ? - I would imagine its at least a week while antibodies build
