           Reactogenicity is modest, with 2-4% of vaccinees reporting erythema,
           or induration which peaks at 24-48 hours, then dissipates. The frequei
           local reactions increases with each subsequent inoculation; after the sec       id
           third doses, 7-10% will have local reactions, with higher incidences (u         1%
           or so) after boosters. Severe local reactions are rare, consisting of mo
           extensive edema or induration. Systemic reactions are reported in up t
           consisting of fever, malaise, headache, and myalgia. Incapacitating reA
           (local or systemic) are uncommon. The vaccine should be stored at re             for
           temperatures (= frozen).
                  Given current and projected vaccine stocks, 3 or more vaccine di
           2, and 12 weeks, then 1 year if possible, by d= subcutaneous injectic
           recommended only to selected individuals or groups judged at high risk
           exposure to botulinum aerosols.
                  Given projected antitoxin stocks and absence of pharmacokinetic
           human and despeciated equine products, there is no indication at presen          se
           of antitoxin as a generally-available prophylactic modality.
