AUSTRALIA NOT IMMUNE FROM SMALLPOX THREAT, US EXPERTS SAY.
SYDNEY, Jan 2 Asia Pulse - A terrorist on a suicide mission could just as likely be armed with smallpox as a bomb and the impact on Australia from such an attack might only be as far away as an overseas tour group, US experts say.
Director of the US National Institute of Infectious Allergy and Diseases, Dr Anthony Fauci, says Australia will soon have to make a difficult decision on how to deal with the threat of smallpox.
In the US the government planned to vaccinate a core of military and health workers as "first responders" against smallpox and Dr Fauci says Australia may have to take similar action.
It's a decision that has to be made knowing the risks for smallpox vaccination are one-to-two deaths (and from 15 to 49 life-threatening complications) per million people vaccinated.
"Australia has to make their own decision," Dr Fauci, among US President George W Bush's smallpox policy advisers, told AAP in an interview.
"They have to make that decision based upon their assessment of what the threat to them is.
"Either from a direct attack on Australia or from an attack for example in the Middle East and then people travel back and forth to Australia."
