You get the vaccination BEFORE the outbreak - after is too late. Inform yourself. This is as important as a strong military and I bet you support that. This is war on the cheap waged against civilians by those who don't have the technology to wage a conventional war.

In 1954, when I entered grade school in the state of Indiana, you could not enter school without the vaccination. When I entered college in 1966, you could not enter Indiana University without the vaccination.

In 1968, you could not reenter the USA after travelling abroad without proof of vaccination.

Somehow the American public lived all those years with everyone being vaccinated. The anti-vaccination hysteria is a mystery to me. I must assume most of these folks are under 40 and think that there is some diabolical plot to people wanting them to get vaccinated.

I will happily pay whatever I can scrounge up to get my children and grandchildren vaccinated. I would be willing to pay $100 per person...even $200. The risk is quite small, as you know, and the risk of being unvaccinated is, in my opinion, far greater in this current situation.

"You get the vaccination BEFORE the outbreak - after is too late"

Wrong - It can be given after an outbreak and still be effective.

Do you're own research and find out for yourself !

The incubation period for smallpox is roughly 12-14 days. The smallpox vaccine is considered effective administered up to five days following exposure (before the rash appears).

As I said, if you want to go and pay your doctor for one.. fine.

I think you should certainly be free to do so.. However, if you want me to help pay or if you want to take me with you then I object.

I honestly think the terrorism threat is making people see monsters in the shadows, but if you don't.. Hey! more power to you.

Just leave me out of it, that's all I ask.
