The Department of Defense Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program
Author: Joseph H. Alexander
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 0756702100
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 75
Book Description
Responding to service members' complaints of program insensitivity to adverse health effects, inadequate medical record-keeping, & heavy-handed program operation, the Committee initiated an oversight investigation into the design & implementation of the DoD force-wide, mandatory Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program. The Committee measured the program against this standard: any expanded use of the same vaccine should be undertaken only with the greatest care & only to the extent necessary. As currently designed & implemented, the Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program fails on both counts. The Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program lacks a consistent standard of care & is designed to reach far beyond those at risk.

The Anthrax Vaccine
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309182743
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The vaccine used to protect humans against the anthrax disease, called Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed (AVA), was licensed in 1970. It was initially used to protect people who might be exposed to anthrax where they worked, such as veterinarians and textile plant workers who process animal hair. When the U. S. military began to administer the vaccine, then extended a plan for the mandatory vaccination of all U. S. service members, some raised concerns about the safety and efficacy of AVA and the manufacture of the vaccine. In response to these and other concerns, Congress directed the Department of Defense to support an independent examination of AVA. The Anthrax Vaccine: Is It Safe? Does It Work? reports the study's conclusion that the vaccine is acceptably safe and effective in protecting humans against anthrax. The book also includes a description of advances needed in main areas: improving the way the vaccine is now used, expanding surveillance efforts to detect side effects from its use, and developing a better vaccine.
