You can't get a Smallpox vaccine today, can you? I would think that the small supplies would be in the hands of the government to be deployed in key areas in case of an outbreak.

from what I hear...we have about 7 million available vaccinations...we would need roughly about 60 million to make sure everyone is covered.

There are about 40 million doses of vaccine stockpiled in the U.S. Quit freeking out.

No, not without some good connections. I had an unusually innovative primary care physician as a youth. I had deveastating canker sours (yes I know the diff b/w canker and cold sores) and I was given a number of smallpox vaccinations in my teens which clear up canker sourse in a day for months, boom, no ifs ands or buts. Wipes them out.

Having my wisdom teeth out in my forties resulted in a horrible case of canker sores. I desperately tried to get smallpox vaccinations but to no avail.
