Emergent makes the only federally approved anthrax vaccine and is working on vaccines for typhoid and hepatitis B. Orders for its BioThrax vaccine soared last year after the federal government canceled a contract with potential competitor VaxGen and signed a three-year, $448 million agreement with Emergent for the purchase of 18.75 million doses. Revenue for the year shot up 20 percent, and BusinessWeek listed Emergent among its "Hot Growth 100."
