                       ACTION PLAN FOR OPERATION DESERT SHIELD
                              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.                                     o 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.

                        lst 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   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.             Manthrax 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.
