The CDC recommends two doses of chickenpox vaccine for those who don't have lab-demonstrated immunity, reliable history of chickenpox or shingles, or history of two vaccines.

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.

What are CDC stages of HIV?

The CDC classifies the stages of HIV using both a letter and a number (i.e. A3, B1). The letter (A through C) represents a person's immunological status. This can be affected by other diseases or illnesses the patient develops, like tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc. The number (1 through 3) represents a person's virological status. This is affected by the viral load, or amount of virus, present in the person. A CDC classification of A1 is the "best" a person can be. A classification of C3 is the "worst" a person can be according to the scale. According to the system, a person can never improve on the scale (i.e. if you are labeled A2, you can never become A1, even if you get better). In this way, the classification system represents the worst an HIV+ person has ever been, not necessarily their current status.

Why does the US Center for Disease Control have to create new viral vaccinations each flu season?

They don't have to create new ones every time since the same types of flu can circulate during the flu season from one year to the next or return in subsequent years. Each season the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the strains of the flu to be included for that season in the vaccine for the US's flu season. The epidemiologists and other scientists study the flu in other parts of the world to help determine which types will most likely be infecting those in our hemisphere that upcoming season. Typically, the flu shot contains a new range of flu virus strains to protect against that year's likely flu types. The types are continuously changing because a virus such as the influenza mutates quickly, making it difficult for the immune system to recognize and destroy the new strains, and often necessitating a new vaccine. However, the vaccines can be used again in later flu seasons if it is determined that the virus in the vaccine is the same (or close enough) to the ones in the wild that are expected to be spreading in the upcoming season. It was necessary to create the new vaccine for H1N1/09 swine flu, since that type of flu had not been isolated in the environment before.
