Recommended pre-exposure vaccination schedules for anthrax vaccine absorbed^[1]

Individuals may work in high-risk areas of exposure once they have completed the priming series. If an individual has completed the priming and initial booster doses but has not received a booster dose in the past year, prior to entering a high-risk area of inhalation exposure, he or she should receive an additional booster dose and delay entry until two weeks later; if immediate entry is required, antimicrobials should be given for two weeks following vaccination.
