WOMAN GETS SMALLPOX - VACCINE VIRUS VIA SEX

Apparently this is a first. Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have described a case in which a woman developed a genital infection after having sexual contact with a member of the military who had recently been vaccinated for smallpox.

The infection was caused by the vaccinia virus, which is a type of virus in the smallpox vaccine. The virus the woman was infected with is less virulent than smallpox and usually only results in a localized infection.

- Wow, never thought about getting vaccinated through sex!
