Smallpox Vaccine J. Michael Lane, MD, MPH January 2003

Smallpox Vaccine Original material used by Jenner was probably cowpox Vaccine constituent changed from cowpox to vaccinia during the 19th century

Vaccinia Virus Origin of vaccinia virus unknown Genetically distinct from cowpox and variola May be a virus now extinct in nature

Vaccinia Virus Multiple strains with different levels of virulence for humans and animals U.S. vaccines (Wyeth Dryvax, Acambis, Dynport, Aventis-Pasteur) contain New York City Board of Health (NYCBOH) strain

Vaccinia Virus NYCBOH “strain” now known to be a “soup” of genetically closely related strains. “plaque purification” for Acambis seed virus.

Vaccine Preparations Glycerinated lymph in capillary tubes, required careful refrigeration. Vaccine has been made on calf skin, egg CAM, tissue culture, rabbit skin, etc.

Vaccine Production Liquid vaccine lost potency in tropical climates Freeze-drying technology developed in 1909 Improvements by Collier in early 1950s produced vaccine stable at 37o-45o C for 64 weeks

Wyeth Dryvax Vaccine Lyophylized NYCBOH vaccinia containing calf lymph Diluent provided in separate syringe-like vial with attached needle, injected into the vaccine vial. Contains trace amounts of polymyxin B, streptomycin, chlortetracycline and neomycin Original diluent contains 50% glycerin, 0.25% phenol in sterile water for injection, 0.005% brilliant green. 0.25 ml of diluent yields about 100 doses.

Vaccine Potency US lyophilized vaccines have a titer of at least 10 8 pfu/ml. Past vaccine with titers of as little as 10 6 gave good takes. Frey’s study of 1:10 diluted Dryvax, NEJM 2002.

Response to Vaccination Neutralizing antibody: 10 days after primary vaccination 7 days after revaccination Considered fully protected after a successful response demonstrated at vaccination site

Vaccine Efficacy Clinical efficacy estimated in household contact studies 91%-97% reduction in cases among contacts with vaccination scar Studies did not consider time since vaccination or potency of vaccine

Post Exposure Vaccine Efficacy % with smallpox 29.5 47.6 75.0 96.3 1.9 21.8 Madras Pakistan Postexp vacc Never vacc Vacc <10 days Vacc <7 days

Duration of Immunity High level of protection (~100%) for 3 years following vaccination Substantial but waning immunity for >10 years Reduction in disease severity

CFR by Vaccination Status, Europe, 1950-1971 Cases and deaths after importations of smallpox into Europe, 1950-1971. Mack TM. J Infect Dis 1972;125:161-9.

Antibody Persistence Level of antibody that protects against smallpox infection unknown Neutralizing antibody >1:10 persists up to 30 years following 3 doses

Antibody Persistence Following Second Revaccination Baruch El-Ad, et al J Infect Dis 1990;161:446-8. Subjects vaccinated on 0, 8, 18 year schedule.

Persistence of cell mediated immunity Similar to Neuts; 30 years or more. Protective level unknown. Demkowicz et al. J. Virology 1996 Human cytotoxic T-cell memory: long-lived response to vaccinia virus.

Epidemiological evidence for persistence of immunity Recent review of data from outbreaks in Boston, Liverpool, in 19th Century. CFR down 30 years post vaccination. Cohen J. Science 2001 Smallpox vaccination: how much protection remains?

Vaccination site Many have been used. (thigh, back, buttock). Deltoid insertion by ease of access, tradition, difficulty in scratching etc. Revaccination in the old scar.

Vaccination technique Many types of knives, scalpels, needles, vaccinostyles used to insert virus into the skin. Virus on intact skin won’t “take”. Virus injected IM won’t “take”.

Vaccination technique By 1966 in US, multiple pressure and jet injection were major methods 1967, introduction of the bifurcated needle

Vaccination technique Prior to administration, please refer to package insert for the number of needle punctures to administer. Needle picks up the right dose of vaccine between the prongs by capillary action. 3 or 15 swift firm strokes in the same spot. Should get slight ooze of blood or serum at 20-30 seconds.

Vaccination technique Site preparation: NONE!!!! Alcohol inactivates vaccine. Ether or acetone dissolves skin lipids, and probably promotes satellite lesions. Warm water if necessary.

Vaccination site management Controversial. No dressings in the old days. Loose gauze, long sleeves, to pick up exudate. Cover loose gauze with Opsite. Avoid maceration by occlusive dressings.

Clinical Response to Vaccination “Jennerian vesicle” at inoculation site Swelling and tenderness of axillary lymph nodes, usually during 2nd week 15%-20% of primary vaccinees 0%-15% of revaccinees Fever and malaise common

Clinical Response to Vaccination* Symptom/sign Papule Vesicle Pustule Maximum erythema Scab Scab separation Time after Vacc 3 days 5-6 days 7-11 days 8-12 days 14 days 21 days *typical response in a nonimmune person

Clinical response to vaccination VIG doesn’t blunt the normal response to vaccination. Dermal response usually normal in agammaglobulinemics. Evidence of cellular immunity by about day 8.

Antibody response to vaccination Neutralizing antibodies by about day 8. HAI’s about day 8 or 9, unknown significance. CF’s about day 8 or 9, unknown significance.

Normal primary vaccination Strain differentials. NYCBOH most “gentle”strain. Lister strain common in Europe, Israel. “Robust” responses more common, data poor. Viremia, tonsilitis, etc. Satellite lesions are normal and self-limited

Normal progression of vaccination site

Normal progression of vaccination site Day 7

Normal progression of vaccination site Day 12 – note heaped up border and pustule drying from center outward

Normal primary vaccination Strain differentials. NYCBOH most “gentle”strain. Lister strain common in Europe, Israel. “Robust” responses more common, data poor. Viremia, tonsilitis, etc. Satellite lesions are normal and self-limited

Satellite Lesions

Local Skin Reactions Allergic reactions to bandage and tape adhesives Maceration Robust takes (aka large local reactions) Bacterial superinfections

Local Reactions to Adhesive Erythema or vesicles correspond to placement of adhesive tape No systemic symptoms Steroid treatment not recommended Usually, individuals with reactions to tape have no other systemic symptoms and can be treated by changing the type of tape or increasing the frequency of dressing changes. Antihistamines or non steroidal anti-inflammatory medications can be used if the local reaction is severe enough to cause discomfort. Steroid treatment is generally not needed or recommended.

Local allergic reactions Consider prescreen for history of sensitivity Treatment Rotate bandage and tape Alternative adhesive products Bandage holiday

Erythema in 2 different first-time vaccinees day 5 post-vaccination

Vesicle at edge of adhesive drsg: Negative viral culture no progression to pustular stage

“Robust” takes Case definition from CDC experience: > 3 inches of redness, swelling, pain and warmth About 2% to 16% of normal adult NYCBOH “takes: Onset 8-10 days (differs from bacterial infxn <5 days > 15 days) Symptoms usually improve 24-72 hrs

Robust Take with lymphangitis: Extensive erythema and induration with linear streak posteriorly on Day 9

“Robust” takes Probably less in children. Not uncommon in revaccinees whose primary was >30 years previously. Do not confuse with early progressive vaccinia.

Robust Takes (RT) Therapy Observe carefully Supportive therapy Rest affected limb Analgesia (non-aspirin) NSAIDs Persons with robust takes should be followed carefully. Some can have fever but most don’t usually experience high fevers or other severe systemic symptoms. This robust reaction generally improves in 1 to 2 days with only symptomatic treatment.

Robust take vs Bacterial superinfection Note the impetignous changes Bacterial Infxn Robust Take Robust take vs Bacterial superinfection Note the impetignous changes

Secondary Bacterial Infection More common among children than adults Usually Staphylococcus aureus or Group A beta hemolytic Streptococci Anaerobic and mixed infections may occur Evaluate with gram stain and culture Antibiotic therapy based on culture Individuals suspected of having bacterial cellulitis at the site should be evaluated with gram stain and culture of the lesion, and blood cultures if systemic symptoms like high fever and malaise are present. An elevated peripheral white blood cell count may also be more consistent with a bacterial infection. The most common organisms causing secondary infections are Staphylococcus aureus and Group A streptococci. Some anaerobic or mixed infections can be seen, and may occur if occlusive dressings are used for prolonged periods that prevent aeration of the site and promote an anaerobic environment. Antibiotic therapy should be guided by culture and sensitivities.

Clinical Response to Vaccination Major (primary) reaction Indicates viral replication has occurred and vaccination was successful Equivocal reaction Indicates immune suppression of viral replication or allergic reaction without production of immunity

Major Reaction* (6-8 days after vaccination) Vesicular or pustular lesion Area of definite palpable induration surrounding a central crust or ulcer Indicates viral replication *WHO Expert Committee on Smallpox, 1964

First-time vaccinee day 6, 10 & 15 Revaccinee day 4, 8, 10 & 15 Comparison of Major reaction by vaccination status Revaccinee day 4, 8, 10 & 15 Equivocal Rxn in first-time vaccinee

Equivocal Reaction All responses* other than major reactions Caused by immunity, insufficiently potent vaccine, vaccination technique failure Vaccination should be repeated with another vial, if possible *Includes accelerated, modified, vaccinoid, immediate, early, or immune reactions.

Equivocal Reaction Immediate reaction Delayed-type hypersensitivity to vaccine component (erythema only) Occurs 24-48 hours after vaccination No immunity

Older terminology Accelerated reaction, reaction of immunity, vaccinoid reaction, modified take. All attempted to describe take with viral replication, accelerated by residual immunity.

Current terminology Either “Major” or “Equivocal”. Can only read at 6-8 days. True equivocals should be rare now with most people not vaccinated for 30 years +

Take Rates Influenced by many factors:\ Vaccine (titer etc.) Method Vaccinator Immunity level in vaccinees Training

Take Rates Should approach 100% in primaries. Was about 70% in 1960’s revaccinees. Should approach 100% in today’s revaccinees who have minimal immunity.

Transmission of Vaccinia Vaccinia virus may be recovered from the site of vaccination from development of papule (2-5 days) until scab separates from the skin Day 3 to day 19, highest shedding at day 6-9. Data are minimal.

Transmission of vaccinia Uncommon, generally direct close contact. No evidence for respiratory spread (despite Russian data) 10-30 contact transmissions per million primary vaccinations.

Transmission of vaccinia Very few health care workers have spread vaccinia (4 documented US cases). Mostly to patients with atopic dermatitis. Neff et al JAMA 2002.

Transmission of vaccinia Nosocomial spread of vaccinia. All pre-modern infection control Almost certainly spread via health care workers with careless hand-washing procedures. Sepkowitz NEJM Jan 2003

Smallpox Vaccine Products Overview Wyeth Dryvax (1:1 & 1:5) Acambis Vaccinia Vaccine in MRC5 Cells (Acam1000) Acambis Vaccinia Vaccine in Vero Cells (Acam2000) Aventis Pasteur Vaccine

Smallpox Vaccine Supply and Production Acam 1000 ~54 million doses Acam 2000 ~155 million doses Dryvax 15 million doses – undiluted 75 million @ 1:5 dilution AvP Vaccine 70-90 million doses 1983 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005

Further attenuated vaccines CV178 (Kempe, Galasso) Modified Vaccinia Ankara NYVAC LC18m8 (Japanese strain) Others (vaccinia as carrier for other antigens)

Further attenuated vaccines Poor replication in skin Poor CMI response Poor Neut Ab response Impossible to do field trial No known surrogate end-point Pre-vaccinia vaccination

Killed vaccine Fair neuts, no CMI Transient immune response Killed measles vaccine and atypical measles Can’t do a field trial German “result” in 1970’s

Major Complications of Smallpox Vaccination 1960’s studies (Lane, Neff, etc.) done when several vaccination techniques and several NYCBOH vaccines were used. No vaccine or technique specific denominators available. *

Smallpox Vaccine Adverse Reaction Rates* Primary Vaccination Inadvertent inoculation 25-529 Generalized vaccinia 23-242 Eczema vaccinatum 10-39 Progressive vaccinia 0.9-1.5 Post-vaccinial encephalitis 3-12 Death 1 This table shows the range of adverse event rates reported from both of these studies. The differences seen in the rates between the two studies is due to different data collection methods. The 10 state survey probably more accurately reflects the rates for the less serious complications that were frequently unreported, while the national study captured the rates of the more serious adverse events through national reporting and VIG distribution mechanisms. *Rates per million primary vaccinations
