Chronology of the Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program

The Anthrax Vaccine Network is here to educate the public, Congress and government agencies about the military's dangerous, highly reactive anthrax vaccine and the threat it now poses to the American public - and work to prevent any future bioterrorism vaccines from being based on this model.

We also serve as a networking, support and referral system for sick troops and veterans, to help them obtain immediate and adequate medical care. We also serve those who are refusing or have refused the vaccine, to clear their names and their records.

Beginning in November 2002, this site is hosted by the National Gulf War Resource Center, Inc., a national advocacy group assisting veterans of the Gulf War.
