What would be the consequence of a bioterrorist attack that released smallpox virus into a city?
What will be an ideal response?
The last case of smallpox was reported in the 1970s. As a result, children are no longer vaccinated routinely as was the case before smallpox was eradicated. A large proportion of any given population today would be unvaccinated, and thus susceptible to smallpox infection. The mortality rate would be high (30–50%) among those not protected by vaccination.
