Blood donations eyed to develop anthrax treatment for soldiers
Fort Campbell officials pursue an experimental anthrax therapy using blood from vaccinated soldiers to stockpile an emergency treatment. The plan offers up to 60 per liter, with donors allowed weekly, drawing interest from soldiers needing extra income and families seeking protection after the 2001 anthrax deaths.

Plasma Donations Eligible Under New CDC Anthrax Program
The program seeks donors meeting strict health and exposure criteria to create anthrax immune globulin. Eligible individuals must have four anthrax vaccine doses, be in good health, pass screenings, and avoid HIV hepatitis or syphilis, illegal drug use, pregnancy, recent tattoos or non sterile piercings, and long-ago exposure to certain European countries. Fort Campbell in Tennessee acts as a key site due to soldier vaccination rates and proximity to a plasma collection center in Clarksville.
