It is terrible and reprehensible that for the treatment of smallpox there are two vaccines that fight the virus and the US does not have the necessary vaccines to treat its population, says Dr. Elmer Huerta.
Regarding the antiviral treatment available to fight against this type of smallpox, Huerta says that doctors report that due to bureaucracy, 6 days pass from when the medication is prescribed until the infected patient receives it.
