Thank you for a response. Similarly, no evidence exists that indicates any other adverse reproductive effects including effects on fertility, miscarriage, or birth defects. These vaccines protect against tetanus, influenza, hepatitis B, and meningococcal disease. No adverse effect of any vaccine in the last 205 years has occurred in the spouse of a vaccinated man. No vaccine causes sterility.
Mumps vaccine prevents sterility by preventing mumps infection.
It should also be noted that there is no risk whatsoever to the spouse of someone receiving the anthrax vaccine. You should neither delay, nor concern yourself with the anthrax vaccine with respect to your family. In fact, your concerns should be lessened knowing your husband has protection in the event of an anthrax attack. Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions.
