Gee, I thought the war on terror was over. Now, what would they need this for?

Might it be we are getting ready to invade another country and need the vaccines for the troops?

U.S. Boosts Order of Anthrax Vaccine

Global Security

The United States has ordered an additional 3.42 million anthrax inoculation doses under an existing order with the vaccine's Maryland-based manufacturer, the company announced on Monday.

An updated contract calls for Emergent BioSolutions to provide 17.92 million doses of BioThrax. The extra vaccine is expected to be supplied starting in the third quarter of this year, after the company wraps up delivery of the initial order of 14.5 million doses, according to a press release.

BioThrax is the only anthrax vaccine licensed in the United States for use against the potential bioterrorism agent. The extra doses are due to be delivered before the end of this year.
