Surveillance Guidelines for Smallpox Vaccine (vaccinia) Adverse Reactions
In January 2003, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
implemented a preparedness program in which potential first
responders to a biologic terrorism event received smallpox
vaccine. As part of the program, CDC, in consultation with
experts, established surveillance case definitions for adverse
events resulting from smallpox vaccination. This report provides
uniform criteria used for the surveillance case definition and
classification for adverse reactions to small vaccine.
