Anthrax Vaccination

Pronounced (An-thraks)

There is a vaccine to prevent anthrax, but it is not yet available for the general public. Anyone who may be exposed to anthrax, including certain members of the U.S. armed forces, laboratory workers, and workers who may enter or re-enter contaminated areas, may get the vaccine. Also, in the event of an anthrax attack, people exposed would get the vaccine.
