 Anthrax  is a disease caused by infection with spore-forming bacteria. It normally occurs in people who are exposed to an infected animal or other source of the anthrax bacteria. Anthrax is spread to a human through the skin, the stomach, or the lungs. The bacteria can enter the skin through a cut or wound that comes into contact with products from an infected animal. Infection can also occur through the lungs when a person inhales the bacterial spore or through the stomach when a person eats undercooked meat from an infected animal. The anthrax vaccine is used to help prevent this dangerous disease in people exposed to the bacteria through the skin or lungs. This vaccine works by exposing you to an antigen protein that causes your body to develop immunity to the disease. Anthrax vaccine does not contain live or killed forms of the bacteria that cause anthrax. Anthrax vaccine will not treat an active infection that has already developed in the body.
