Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Oct. 12, 1999
Report No. T-NSIAD-00-48
Subject
Summary:

Since the Defense Department began vaccinating its 2.4 million solders and reservists in 1998, concerns have been raised about the safety and efficacy of the military's anthrax vaccine. The Food and Drug Administration discovered problems during its inspection of the facility that produces the vaccine, and some ailing Gulf War veterans believe that their unexplained illnesses may have been caused by anthrax vaccinations received during the war. This testimony discusses (1) the need for a six-shot regimen and annual booster shots, (2) the long- and short-term safety of the vaccine, (3) the efficacy of the vaccine, and (4) the extent to which problems FDA found in the vaccine production facility in Michigan could compromise the safety, efficacy, and quality of the vaccine. GAO also discusses the effects of the vaccine on children and pregnant or lactating women.
