When did the UKs anthrax immunisation programme commence, and when will it finish?
A. For personnel deployed to the Gulf and in specialist NBC units, the programme resumed on 21 May 2001. The expansion of the programme to the whole of the UK Armed Forces is proceeding in phases, starting with those units held at the highest readiness. This phased expansion was announced on 13 June 2002 and began shortly afterwards. The programme will continue for as long as we judge that there is a threat to our service personnel from anthrax.
