ABSTRACT
Smallpox vaccine is contraindicated in immunosuppression due to increased risk for adverse reactions (eg, progressive vaccinia). We describe the first-ever use of tecovirimat as a preemptive vaccinia virus treatment strategy during induction chemotherapy in an active duty service member who presented with acute leukemia and inadvertent autoinoculation after smallpox vaccination.
