G3: CDC’s Anthrax Vaccine Safety Research: Vaccine Analytic Unit Update

Workshop presenters will discuss two vaccine safety research studies conducted by The Vaccine Analytic Unit (VAU): 1) association of optic neuritis with vaccine, especially anthrax vaccine, exposure, and 2) the effect of near-concurrent vaccinations among US military personnel. The findings from these studies will inform current and future VAU vaccine safety research studies.
