U.S. to Buy 75M Doses of Anthrax Vaccine

UPDATED - Thursday November 04, 2004 5:54pm from our sister station WJLA-TV

Washington (AP) - The government said Thursday it is purchasing 75 million doses of a new generation anthrax vaccine under an $877.5 million contract - the first awarded through a federal program to develop and stockpile antidotes to biological and chemical weapons.

The five-year contract with VaxGen Inc. will provide enough vaccine to treat roughly 25 million people. The company expects to begin delivery by 2006. According to the contract, the first 25 million vaccine doses would be delivered within two years and the balance within three years, said Lance K. Gordon, the company's president.

The doses will be added to U.S. reserves to protect against a terrorist attack using anthrax spores.
