After serving in Iraq

[Bob906]

My son did a tour in Iraq, before he went he was given several Anthrax injections, can anyone tell me seriously will it have any affect on my partners unborn child the hospital has been unable to give me any answers.

There is no evidence that anthrax vaccine causes sterility, birth defects, or long-term health problems.

I was in the Gulf War in 1991, we were given a cocktail of injections, and have to take anti nerve agent treatment tablets every 8 hours, since coming home, I have fathered 3 beautiful children, one in 1993, the other 2 in 2003 and last year, and all three are perfect, no deformaties at all, so your partner will be ok.
PS, why should his injections have an effect on your partners baby?

Thanks anyway for your answer

Im suprised the hospital didn't get in touch with the Toxicology Dept at Guys in London, they have the answer to everything poisonous to humans. My eldest drank some Olbas oil once and our local A+E got in touch with them and they were very very helpful, (the boy smelled like a eucaliptus (sp)? tree for the next three weeks but he was ok)
