Responding to our dipnote sent to MFA on May 7 advising of
the availability of a second tranche of anthrax vaccines, MFA
sent a dipnote dated May 16 stating that "our authorities
have concluded that the original offer of 10,000 doses of
vaccines would be sufficient to meet our requirements and
consequently, a second purchase of additional vaccines is not
necessary."
