Can you tell me if i could not take the smallpox shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smallpox vaccine: Unless you are a scientist or medical person working with Ebola virus or a similar virus - then the Ebola Vaccine will not be available to you. The American public has not received routine smallpox vaccinations since 1972. All natural sources of smallpox have been eradicated. According to the CDC “The U.S. government has enough vaccine to vaccinate every person in the United States.”
