† Because VAERS cases can have multiple vaccinations, symptoms, and event outcomes, a single case can account for multiple entries in this table. This is why the Total Count is greater than 9,404 (the number of cases found), and the Total Percent is greater than 100. |

Many of the serious anthrax vaccine adverse events in the VAERS database are associated with soldiers and military personnel receiving Biothrax vaccine simultaneously with other vaccines, such as smallpox vaccine, even though the manufacturer states in the product information insert that Biothrax has never been studied in controlled clinical trials in combination with other vaccines given simultaneously.
