Small Pox Training
Welcome to the training site for Knox County Health Department's
smallpox immunization clinic plan. Like all other public health
departments in the United States, Knox County Health Department must
have a contingency plan to vaccinate the entire population of Knox
County over a ten day period. The plan would only be activated if a
case of smallpox occurred in our world; this situation would be
considered a national emergency.
In order to carry out such an enormous task, Knox County Health Department has recruited and trained medical and non-medical volunteers for a variety of job functions in the emergency plan. By linking to any of the sites on this page, a volunteer may review the slides presented in the training sessions, and look at the description of the particular job function to which he or she has been assigned.
