Smallpox: Department of Health and Human Services
The Department of Health and Human Services has launched a new Web site, www.smallpox.gov, that answers questions about smallpox and the president's vaccination plan. HHS recommends the site for those who will be receiving the smallpox vaccination or are debating getting the inoculation. 

In a press release, HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson said, "This is a complicated issue that involves a careful balance between the possibility that smallpox might actually be released at some time by terrorists ... and we need to have answers easily available."
