Operational Issues
Criteria
for Implementation of a Smallpox Response Plan
Smallpox
response plans should be activated if smallpox is confirmed in
a patient of an area/country or if a clinically compatible outbreak
were to occur in a new area/country after smallpox has already
been confirmed in a different area/country. Plans may be partially
or fully activated if smallpox virus were confirmed in an environmental
sample, package or device that was associated with potential human
exposure or if a large outbreak of a clinically compatible illness
were to occur although confirmation was pending.
