Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 Dear Judy in Arizona. As I understand it all will have to be re immunized as the effectiveness will have worn off. The newer generations have never had the vaccination. The problem with Us who have suppressed immune systems either due to the RA or the drugs that we take to control the RA is that we all will have to be cleared by a physician and some of will not be able to be immunized.at all. ly I would have felt better about the whole thing if I had a fairly recent Smallpox vaccination before I developed the RA. (Like a vaccination in 1994) before I developed RA rather than over 25 years ago when I was in the military. The last drug company in America stopped production of the vaccine some time in the early 80's.I could not even find anything on Smallpox listed in the Merck manual edition that I have at home and it was written in 1999.
