WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon said on Wednesday it will immediately resume compulsory anthrax vaccinations for U.S. troops after a judge lifted an order barring them without individual service members' consent.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, granting a request by the Bush administration, issued a stay of his Dec. 22 order until a trial could be held on a suit filed by six unidentified troops and civilian workers for the Department of Defense who challenged the policy.

Sullivan's ruling came eight days after the Food and Drug Administration declared the vaccine safe and effective against the form of anthrax in which airborne bacterial spores are inhaled into the lungs -- the most likely way U.S. troops would face the disease on a battlefield.

In a two-page order, the judge called the timing of the FDA's action so soon after his earlier ruling "arguably highly suspicious." Plaintiffs' lawyers accused the FDA of acting hastily due to political pressure from the Pentagon.
