Smallpox: No Serious Smallpox Reactions in Civilian Program As of Wednesday, more than 4,000 U.S. civilians have received smallpox inoculations and no serious reactions have been recorded, U.S. health officials said yesterday (see GSN, Feb. 14). The Pentagon has immunized more than 100,000 personnel and has experienced five serious reactions. The Defense Department said that all five are in good condition. Another six military personnel had mild rashes that might be classified as generalized vaccinia. Of the 4,213 civilians immunized, seven people reported reactions but none were considered life threatening (Laura Meckler, Associated Press/The Australian, Feb. 21).
