<<<A HREF="http://mp.medscape.com/cgi-bin1/DM/y/jdM60EKZVT0DzR0Ff460AC">Most People Given Smallpox Vaccine in Past Probably Still Immune</A>
More than 90% of people who received the smallpox vaccine 25 to 75 years ago
show substantial immunity against vaccinia, the virus used in the vaccine,
according to a report published in the August 17th online issue of Nature
Medicine.

can we assume that 90% of BF moms (age ~ 25yrs+) who are were vaccinated are
passing smallpox antibodies to BF babies?
