Field Evaluation of a Human Anthrax Vaccine.

Abstract: IN A SERIES of papers published from 1951-1955,'-" Wright and colleagues, reported on the development of an anthrax vaccine. This vaccine was shown to be an effective immunizing agent for laboratory animals and its safety for human use was demonstrated by the successful injection of 600 scientific personnel at Fort Detrick. Its value for human immunization could be established through a field study of a susceptible industrial population known to be chronically exposed to anthrax. This communication reports the data collected in such a study over a fouryear period.

An anthrax vaccine was evaluated clinically and epidemiologically in an exposed, susceptible, and supervised population. Findings are reported and the authors suggest exposed populations for whom the vaccine is recommended. FIELD EVALUATION OF A HUMAN ANTHRAX VACCINE
