CORRECTION
The October 21 issue of Immunization Newsbriefs contained an abstract of an article from that day's Wall Street Journal titled "Ugly Side Effects of Vaccine for Smallpox Color Terror Plans." The abstract incorrectly implied that recommendations by health officials at the Health and Human Services Department concerning the distribution of the smallpox vaccine to the public have been approved. The final decision still must come from the White House.
