Study says vaccinated health workers present greater risk for patients.(patient contact with workers innoculated with smallpox vaccine may pose risk )
2003 APR 16 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- More than half of all New York state hospital patients may face an increased risk of complications from contact with smallpox-vaccinated health care workers, a study suggests.
With the voluntary vaccination of health care workers underway nationwide, the study's results underscore the need for strict adherence to safety guidelines, the researchers said.
The U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends daily inspection and bandaging of the vaccine site, meticulous hand washing after contact and administrative leave if vaccination-related complications develop.
"Successful implementation of this policy will require the complete cooperation of every vaccinated health care worker to avoid complications among vulnerable hospital patients," said the study by Dr. Perry Smith and Hwa-Gan Chang of New York's health department and Dr. Kent Sepkowitz of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
The study appears in the Journal of the American Medical Association (2003;348(13)).
