GAO Reports Negatively On Anthrax Vaccination

The GAO, http://www.gao.gov, released a report yesterday on the effects of Anthrax vaccinations on US military personnel. The report, ANTHRAX VACCINE: Preliminary Results of GAO's Survey of Guard/Reserve Pilots and Aircrew Members, report GAO-01-92T, details the physical side effects from the Anthrax vaccine as well as the sociological effects the vaccine has had on the decisions of military personnel to avoid having to take the vaccine. The Department of Defense's (DOD) Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program began vaccinating 2.4 million active duty and reserve members in 1998.
