BioThrax

BioThrax is a vaccine used to protect against anthrax, a serious bacterial illness. It works by stimulating the body's immune system to recognize and fight the bacteria if exposed. Administered in a series of shots, BioThrax is primarily intended for people at high risk, such as certain military personnel or laboratory workers. It does not treat existing infections but helps prevent infection before exposure. The vaccine is generally safe, with common side effects including soreness at the injection site, fatigue, or mild flu-like symptoms.
