Beary Gets Smallpox Vaccination First
Deputies, Families Offered Shots

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. -- Orange
County Sheriff Kevin Beary became the first law enforcement officer in the
country Monday to get a smallpox vaccination as part of the war on
terrorism.
Beary got his shot Monday morning and his deputies are following the lead, WESH NewsChannel 2 reported. All deputies and their families will be offered -- but not required -- to take the vaccination, officials said. Federal health officials have directed the states to speed up plans to offer smallpox vaccinations to 500,000 hospital workers nationwide, and President George W. Bush is expected to announce plans for mass vaccinations of other emergency personnel this week.

 "A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C.
