        Second anthrax production facility; estimated to produce sufficient
        doses to vaccinate        @@M@cs every 6 weeks 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:

        4. r4 Assumptions for botulinum vaccination:

            a. The vaccination schedule for each SM is three vaccinations;
        day 0, 2nd week, and 12th week.

            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.
