The least costly response is to simply allow free market conditions to function. The gov't is WITHHOLDING vaccine from release currently and as a physician, I urge the gov't to complete their bureaucratic machinations and get this vaccine rolling again.

I recall reading somewhere that one reason for withholding the innoculation is that if the freshly vaccinated come into contact with an AIDS patient, the AIDS patient could be infected.

Seemed unlikely, since the vaccine is not actually variola major, but have you heard anything like this?

Would AIDS patients be at any greater risk if they were vaccinated themselves?
