Intelligent questions please....

Personally, the vaccination only works if a pustule forms after the inoculation. I am one of the people that never gets a pustule, even after three attemps to inoculate.

So, what happens to people like me?

"So, what happens to people like me?"

Sounds like it was a live vaccine? If so, with 3 tries it says you're immune.

Thanks Hunble. Is it possible to survive a smallpox epidemic without being revaccinated? I was vaccinated as a child and am now a healthy 45 year-old. If revaccinated, what side effects can be expected? How long is the wait for immunity? Can you be vaccinated after the outbreak has occurred and be protected?

I second your question. My vaccinations ( 2) never "took" either. I would like to know if that means I have natural immunity or if it means something else. Thank you
