2004 JAN 7 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Emergency response workers who developed health problems from smallpox vaccinations can seek compensation from the U.S. government, the U.S. Health and Human Services Department says.

More than 38,000 medical care workers, police, firefighters and other emergency responders have been vaccinated against smallpox under an emergency response plan that went into effect last January. Officials estimate that about 2% of those vaccinated experienced some sort of medical injury as a result.

Under rules announced December 12, 2003, those injured by the smallpox vaccine will be able to seek compensation from a $42 million program that provides both financial and medical benefits.
