In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened a national meeting where medical and public health experts evaluated existing data, identified knowledge gaps, and provided expert opinion to support the creation of evidence-based CDC guidance for clinicians on managing anthrax exposure and providing treatment to pregnant and postpartum women. Following development of this guidance, we developed recommendations pertaining to communication about anthrax exposure and treatment for lay and professional audiences and training for health professionals. These recommendations can guide future planning of communication and training activities for partners who would be involved in the care of pregnant and postpartum women exposed to anthrax.
