The events of Sept. 11,2001 and the subsequent anthrax incidents have emphasized the need to , improve public preparedness for bioterrorism, points out Terne Wright, emergency preparedness plannercoordinator for Southeastern Utah Health . District The measures needed to improve bioterrorism preparedness should also improve public health . capacity to respond to other infectious disease or other public health emergencies. Smallpox is one of the most challenging bioter-ronsagents because it is transmissible from person to person, has a 30 percent fatality rate, and since the absence of immunization, the U S. population would be largely susceptible to it. Wright emphasizes at this time, no information indicates that there is a current risk of smallpox or that an attack using smallpox is imminent The consequences of such an attack would be serious, and the government is taking prudent steps to be prepared for that unlikely possibility.
