CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - Australia injected soldiers headed to Iraq with an anthrax vaccine without telling them that forces who received the vaccine before going to Afghanistan had fallen ill, officials said Saturday.

Tony Austin, the defense health services director-general, defended the military's decision to keep quiet...
....

Vaccinations were resumed without telling troops heading to Iraq a year later of the side effects. Around 2,000 Australian troops were deployed to Iraq.


....
In 2003, 52 Australian defense personnel were banned from serving in Iraq after they refused to take the anthrax vaccine.
