Does the CDC have the right to force people to get a vaccination for an infectious disease such as the smallpox if it is a suspected act of bioterrorism why or why not?
Yes. If a public health emergency is declared by the government the Surgeon General of The United States has broad authority to act to prevent an outbreak of a possibly epidemic-size infectious disease that would threaten the general population of the country and possibly overwhelm the nation's medical care facilities.

How does a vaccine prevent disease?
With a "live" vaccine, you're given a very small dose of the actual disease virus, or an inactived form of the virus. You become mildly ill, your body develops anti-bodies and helps you get well. If you're ever exposed to the disease again (full-force), your body already has anti-bodies developed and you do not get the disease again.
