All Tissues: a) The inoculation site has not fully healed. b) Any secondarily infected site has not fully healed. c) Less than eight weeks from inoculation or from the appearance of any secondarily infected site. 2.

| Additional Information | Smallpox immunization is with live virus. By eight weeks, the infection caused by the inoculation should have been controlled. If the wound has not healed it is possible that there may still be infection present. We do not want to pass the virus, or other infection, on to staff, or to people receiving tissues. |
