More than 100 pregnant women exposed to smallpox vaccine. (December 2002-April 2003).
In recent months, 103 women in the United States either received the smallpox vaccine before they knew they were pregnant or conceived within 4 weeks after being vaccinated, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report.

According to information from the Defense Department's vaccination program, in which more than 52,000 women of reproductive age were vaccinated, 85 women were exposed to smallpox vaccine in pregnancy. Of the 75 women with known vaccination status, 66 were primary vaccinees.
