Anthrax vaccine is made from a strain of the anthrax bacteria that cannot
cause anthrax infection.
Anthrax vaccine does not contain whole bacteria, neither live nor dead.
Scientists consider anthrax vaccine an "inactivated vaccine," because it doesn't contain live bacteria.
The main ingredient is a protein called "protective antigen" or PA.
This protein comes from the anthrax bacteria.
The vaccine contains PA to help your body make antibodies that neutralize the anthrax germ’s ability to cause disease.
