"normal reaction" to smallpox vaccine over a period of
21 days
 Four images show the skin's normal reaction to smallpox
vaccine over a period of 21 days according to the Centers for Disease
Control(CDC) in Atlanta. Up to 450,000 doctors, nurses and other health care
workers are ready to be vaccinated against the disease when President George W.
Bush (news
- web
sites) gives the go-ahead, the CDC said on December 12, 2002. Bush is
expected to give details of a plan on Friday which calls for 500,000 troops and
nearly as many health care workers to receive the first vaccinations. The
vaccine eventually will be freely offered to the public as it becomes available.
