The vaccines given to Mexico are made in the USA: The USA does have them, they are only available from the CDC---which provides them to Mexico. I would go there for the vaccine if I couldn't get it here, no one creates the vaccinia, it is a naturally occuring virus which causes a real infection, not all that hard to reproduce on the right host, they just create the dosage and whatever they add to it.

If so, I stand corrected. Where did you get that info? It's helpful to me if I could get that reference.
The small pox vaccine is only effective for 15 - 20 years after administration. So chances are, even if you were one of the last to recieve this immunization, you are very likely susceptible to the disease now.
