If there were an “incident,” would there be enough antibiotics available to treat people exposed to anthrax or vaccine available to protect people against smallpox?
Yes, in most cases. Because large amounts of medical supplies, antibiotics and vaccines could be needed, a special national stockpile of these items has been created. Special “push packs” of these supplies can be delivered anywhere in the US within 12 hours, and usually in much less time. This national resource saves each community from having to stockpile its own supplies.
