The most common preservative used is thimerasol and allergies to this are
extremely rare. Inactivated vaccines are killed using formaldehyde and
anthrax is no exception. These agents are processed out when the vaccine is
manufactured. Basically what is injected are proteins and a preservative.
The most common side effects of the vaccine is pain, soreness, and swelling
at the injection site. All of which would be expected from an inactivated
vaccine such as anthrax. It is unlikely that an infant would suffer
untoward allergic reactions due to the preservative agents.
