Why Plan for Mass Distribution and Vaccination Clinics?Why Plan for Mass Distribution and Vaccination Clinics?
• Likely worst case CBRN scenario in Canada for planning purposes : up to 100,000 people*
• Delay in vaccination can result in exponentially expanding epidemics– Smallpox, hep A
• Delay in treatment can result in significantly increased mortality– Anthrax, nuclear accident

• Determine a CBRN event has occurred
• Identify the nature of the substance involved
• Define temporal and spatial boundaries of the event
• Determine appropriate intervention and required follow-up
