                    a. The vaccination schedule for each service member
         (SN) is                                                 As stocks
         become available a third dose would be given to complete the
         vaccination series.

     5 USC 522(b)(1) b.                it takes two weeks to administer the
         m
       -It takes an additional two weeks for immunity to buil up for the
         SM's to be protected.






         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
         doses of the anthrax vaccine. Doses available are those that are
         in the AOR once the plan is approved.   Mdoses 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.
