Anthrax Found at White House Mail Facility. WASHINGTON â Anthrax has hit an offsite White House mail facility and caused the death of two Washington, D.C., postal workers, authorities announced Tuesday. We're making sure the West Wing and the White House is safe, President George W. Bush said in a press conference. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters that anthrax had been found Tuesday at a mail-screening facility for the White House on a military installation. That facility was closed for testing and decontamination. All environmental tests at the White House itself have come back negative, he said.
The Vaccine. There is a vaccine to prevent anthrax, but it is not yet available for the general public. Anyone who may be exposed to anthrax, including certain members of the U.S. armed forces, laboratory workers, and workers who may enter or re-enter contaminated areas, may get the vaccine.nthrax most commonly occurs in animals (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, antelopes, and others), but it can also occur in humans when they are exposed to infected animals or to tissue from infected animals or when anthrax spores are used as a bioterrorist weapon.
