The federal agency that acts as liason with Indian reservations is the Indian Health Service - IHS - my brother runs some of their clinics in Arizona. The sovereignty of Indian reservations is very important to this agency. Clinics on Indian reservations are not run, nor directed, by state agencies, nor local agencies. ihs.gov My guess is that when you say that some Indians were left out of the planning you're thinking about non-sovereign Indian settlements, because the IHS definitely took part in the CDC planning on this issue. But, given that you've provided no links, all I can do is try to guess what you're getting at. Typically there's a kernel of fact in what you say, surrounded by enormous nuggets of supposition and make-believe, which can be boiled down into "noble red man good, white man bad." At any rate, no, your home state probably has little or nothing to say about whether Indians living on reservations get smallpox vaccination. That's up to the individual tribes to decide, and they're working with the IHS about this, and the IHS is working with the CDC.
