	Narrative
	Certainly if you even get to the point where smallpox vaccination is required, an organized plan for a point of dispensing is required in advance.  The legal authority during a mass vaccination response generally rests at the local level, and is not under federal jurisdiction.  Communities need to decide where to administer vaccinations, who will staff these facilities, and establish a plan for carrying this out.
