Smallpox Vaccine Switch

The US is now going to stock Acambis' version of the smallpox vaccine rather than using Dryvax produced by Wyeth to vaccinate the military, lab workers, and emergency responders.
Acambis vaccine is made from cell culture vs. the calve-skin-freezedry method of Dryvax.
Good news since Dryvax is no longer being produced...
