In the event that smallpox is the biological weapon, the best treatment is prevention by immunization with vaccinia vaccine before the onset of symptoms. Vaccination within 3 days of exposure will completely prevent the disease or will significantly reduce its effect.
Vaccination 4 to 7 days post exposure offers some protection from disease or will decrease the severity of disease.
