About Anthrax shots

The ADF employs two virtually identical vaccines one from the UK and one from the USA. Those receiving the UK vaccine will receive injections at zero, three and six weeks and then a fourth injection at six months.

Those receiving the USA vaccine will receive injections at zero, two and four weeks, then three more at six, 12 and 18 months.

Vaccination should be completed with one type of vaccine, as they are not interchangeable.

Possible side effects:

Redness, Swelling, Tenderness in affected area, Mild fever, and Headache.

Significant side effects are extremely rare. There are no live Anthrax bacteria in the vaccine.

It is impossible to get Anthrax from the vaccine. The vaccine provides some protection after the second injection and good protection after the third.
