                              SUPPORTING INFORMATION (U)

       1. @Assumptions for anthrax vaccination:

                   a. The vaccination schedule for each service member
       (SM) is two vaccinations; day 0 and two weeks later. As stocks
       become available a third dose would be given to complete the
       vaccination series.

                   b. For @ S16's it takes two weeks to administer the
       first dose in the AOR and two weeks to administer the second dose.
      -It takes an additional two weeks for immunity to build up for the
       SM's to be protected.

                       Ist Dose           2nd Dose
       Protected
                   0 ----------- 2nd wk  ---------- 4th wk  ----------  6th wk
        10 Dec 90        24 Dec 90          7 Jan 91          21 Jan 91

       2.  @Projection of the number of SM's protected against anthrax
       if vaccination begins on 10 Dec 90 and vaccination continues as
       vaccine is available. This is based on optimal vaccine
       production. Deficiencies in production will reduce the number of
       SM's who can be vaccinated. Each SM's will initially receive two
       doses of the anthrax vaccine. Doses available are those that are
       in the AOR once the plan is approved. 50K doses of anthrax vaccine
       which will be available on 15 Dec 90 and not listed in table below
       will be kept at selected medical treatment facilities in the AOR to
       be used to treat exposed SM's.
