        doses to vaccinate                            starting in Apr 91.

        3.  @ Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic effective against anthrax
        but must be used with a full vaccination regimen for exposed SM's.
        Each SM will be issued one blister pack containing ten tablets with
        instructions to take two tablets daily when directed. Estimated
        deliveries are as follows:

                   Ouantities                               Delivery Dates

            b. For botulinum vaccine it takes two weeks to administer each
        of the doses to SM's in the AOR. After the third dose it takes an
        additional two weeks for immunity to build up for SM's to be
        protected.

            Ist Dose        2nd Dose             3rd Dose        Protected
