I've heard several times over the past couple days, that innoculation would be done in a "ring" approach. If a case is confirmed, then those that have contact with the victim will be innoculated, and the next "ring" innoculated would be the acquaintances of the original "ring".

In this way they would hope to contain the virus without innoculating the general population.

Hi there, KC1.

Although the U.S. only has a small amount of smallpox vaccine doses currently, the U.N.'s World Health Organization has many hundred million such does in their stockpile. WHO has officially released a statement that even ONE case of smallpox would be considered by them to be a WORLDWIDE EMERGENCY to which they'd automatically respond.

Also, there is a study from early in the 20th century in which it was shown that a huge percentage of people who were vaccinated in infancy were immune to smallpox, not merely during adulthood - but decades later, during advanced senior years.

Although this is NOT advertised, I've seen several doctors state that it is UNKNOWN if the people vaccinated pre-1970s still have any immunity to smallpox, and if so, HOW MUCH.

I frankly am very embarressed at what passes for information in MOST tv interviews about ANYTHING MEDICAL -- it has been excrutiating watched professional "EXPERTS" tout nonsense or even worse, outright MISTRUTHS....

Say, I haven't read the official document yet, but here is a link to a FR discussion last night which contains the CDC Smallpox Response Plan an perhaps it contains the OFFICIAL answer to your query. As I say, I haven't read it yet, so I'm not certain if it will contain the precise info you want, but I figure it's worth a try, right? LOL! :)
