Smallpox virus storage and regional readiness discussed
Local agencies described their role in the outbreak communication chain. In 1980 the World Health Assembly certified the world free of naturally occurring smallpox. Griffin noted the virus likely only exists in storage facilities like the CDC and that there is vaccine stockpile but none locally. CDC would supply if needed, and regional teams are prepared to act swiftly and efficiently in a bio danger.
