Stockpiling and management of treatments and vaccines for bioterrorism preparedness

Bioterrorism refers to the act of causing death or inducing diseases in humans, animals, or plants using viruses, bacteria, fungi, toxins, etc., with the intention of societal collapse.

• In addition, bioterrorism infectious diseases are classified into a total of 8 types (anthrax, botulism, plague, Marburg virus disease, Ebola virus disease, Lassa fever, smallpox, and Yersinia pestis) according to the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act.

Biological weapons primarily utilize microorganisms, making them inexpensive to produce and easy to conceal and disperse. They are difficult to detect initially and can spread and transmit in lethal doses of very small amounts, which can be manufactured with the intent to infect an unspecified large number of people, create psychological fear in the public, and cause societal collapse..

By stockpiling treatments and vaccines related to bioterrorism, the government aims to protect the public from bioterrorism and respond quickly and effectively in emergency situations. Therefore, the government is working to prepare for these threats by stockpiling treatments and vaccines to ensure the safety of its citizens

The government has established an emergency transport system to ensure that vaccines and treatments stockpiled for bioterrorism infectious diseases can be supplied within 12 hours in case of a similar situation.
