Anthrax Vaccination Stoppage
On December 22, 2003, the United States District Court for the District of
Columbia issued a preliminary injunction against the current operation of the
Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program. In response, the Department, in concert
with other agencies, is evaluating possible litigation and program actions.
Pending further notice, the Deputy Secretary has decided that DoD will stop
giving anthrax vaccinations until the legal situation is clarified.
