The typical resolution of the smallpox vaccination site is a smooth scar, a sequela that is discussed during prevaccination counseling. In addition, other types of lesion may develop at the scar site, including short- or long-term benign and malignant changes, as reviewed below. Although current recommendations do not discuss potential scar complications or scar surveillance, healthcare providers would benefit from an awareness of these potential complications, and should consider periodic scar surveillance as part of a general physical examination.

Clinic utilization varied between specialties as well as whether a specialty-trained patient presenter was preferred. This robust multispecialty synchronous telehealth experience provides insight into both specialty-specific utilization and patient satisfaction which may aid regional medical centers recognizing avenues for specialty-specific telehealth initiatives.

At 7 days after smallpox vaccination, a peak time for vaccinia shedding, a self-adhesive bandage was as effective as 2 bulkier, less convenient bandages in limiting PCR-detectable virus on the external surface.
