If I sneeze on someone after being vaccinated, then how likely is it that I have exposed that individual to vaccinia?
There is no evidence that vaccinia, the virus in the smallpox vaccination, can be transmitted by contact with oral secretions such as saliva from sneezing. Vaccinia is only contagious through direct contact with the vaccination site. That is why proper vaccination site management and hygiene are important in preventing its spread.
