Abstract
HHS is establishing the Smallpox Countermeasures Injury Table (Table) as authorized by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act of 2005 (PREP Act). Through this final rule, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Secretary) adds the Smallpox Countermeasures Injury Table to the agency's regulations. The Table includes a list of covered smallpox countermeasures, required time intervals for the first symptom or manifestation of onset of injuries, and the accompanying Qualifications and Aids to Interpretation (QAI), which set forth definitions and other requirements necessary to establish Table injuries.
