          are sensitivity to vaccine components (formalin, alum, benzethonium ch

          6% of recipients will experience mild discomfort at the inoculation site
     Vto 72 hours (tenderness, erythema, edema, pruritis), while a smaller prc
          (< 1 %) will experience more severe local reactions (potentially limiting
          the extremity for 1-2 days); modest systemic reactions (myalgia, malaise
          grade fever) are uncommon, and severe systemic reactions (anaphylaxis,
          precludes additional vaccination) are rare. The vaccine should be stor@
          refrigerator temperature (= frozen).                                     ?
                 ANTIBIOTICIS
                 Choice of antibiotics for prophylaxis is guided b
          that for treatment; i.e., it is relatively easy to produce
          tetracycline-resistant organism in the laboratory. Therefore, if there is
          information indicating that a biological weapon attack is imminent, initia
          prophylaxis with ciprofloxacin (500 mg po bid), or doxycycline (100 mg
          bid) is probably reasonable. If unvaccinated, a single 0.5 ml dose of va(
          should be given subcutaneously. Should the attack be confirmed as antlli
          antibiotics should be continued for at least 4 weeks in all exposed. In ad
          two 0.5 ml doses of vaccine should be given 2 weeks apart in the unvacc
