the Public's and Health Care Providers' minds. A number of
sources for useful information are available, links to ones

bioterrorism information, and related issues.

Smallpox:
Smallpox disease was eradicated from earth in 1977. Because
of concerns that smallpox virus could be used as an agent
of bioterrorism, providers should be familiar with the disease
and the vaccine to prevent it.
