Smallpox, once among the most feared diseases on Earth, killed hundreds of millions of people in past centuries, but it hasnt been seen in this country since 1949 and was declared eradicated worldwide in 1980. But experts fear that it could be used by hostile nations or terrorists groups in an attack. Intelligence experts believe that four nations, including Iraq, have unauthorized stocks of the virus. Vaccinating people against the disease makes enemies less likely to use it, said Sea Bill Frist, who has been encouraging Bush to offer the vaccine widely. "Its the right step to protect the American people and its the right step to make our nation less vulnerable tothose who would use smallpox to terrorize our citizens, he said. "This is a difficult decision, but it is the right decision. Bushs vaccination plan represents a remarkable journey of public policy. Just this summer, federal health advisers were recommending a much more conservative vaccination program, perhaps 15.000 to 20,000 people total. llinfah Basin Standard 722-513- 1 Group offers booklet on nursing facilities The American Health Care Association is offerings new booklet titled "Living in a Nursing Facility: Myths and Realities," which is available free to consumers.
