Anthrax Vaccine

Anthrax and its experimental adjuvant!

Anthrax Vaccine was given during Operation Granby. Most personnel recieved two innoculations of this vaccine, the whole course involves four innoculations, see the product data sheet.

It appears that most of us only got two, how useful that would have been if we had become infected with anthrax is anyones guess!

We were also given an adjuvant with this vaccine, Pertussis allegedly to enhance the effect of the anthrax vaccine. As a result of further investigation and a greater understanding of what terms like adjuvant actually mean, I have come to the conclusion that the Pertussis should never have been given!
See extract from vaccine magazine, this extract gives details of how this vaccine/adjuvant cocktail was of an experimental nature, so on whose authority did we get this? A further consideration here is the fact that the Anthrax vaccine already had its own adjuvant built in "Alum Precipitated , this means that it has an aluminium based adjuvant included in it, what's more, so does the pertussis vaccine. So we got the anthrax vaccine with its own adjuvant, plus pertussis vaccine with its own adjuvant, so was the second innoculation really neccessary?

There are a few items of correspondence offered, these were to the company whom I thought were the manufacturers, but after reading the reply, yes just one and then the failure to reply to my second letter makes me wonder if they did make this vaccine and furthermore, who did make it and where did it come from!
