Have any of you troops from the desert storm era been diagnosed with Lupus or SLE and received the Anthrax vaccine ?

The short answer for me is "No". What specifically is it you're wanting to know? Since the question is simply a yes/no question, your answers may not zero in on what you need. A more appropriate question will enable you to get better answers.

YES! I was diagnosed with Lupus in April of 2007. Do you have some info that will be useful in submitting a DAV claim?

I know I'm posting a little late, but I still have my yellow shot records and it shows that I did get an anthrax shot prior to deploying.

Yes I have. I have SLE, diagnosed 4 years ago. SPC 68N10. I received the Anthrax vaccine during a pom to goto Desert Shield, but instead was sent to Korea for the duration of the war.

Yes I have. Received the vaccine during a pom to deploy to Desert Shield(4-3 AVN, 2nd Armored), instead was redeployed to Korea under high priority orders. Was diagnosed 5 years ago, but have been diagnosed incorrectly in years before as having Shingles and Cystic Acne. Still fighting with VA on appeal, including for items clearly marked in medical records "in line of duty".
