What Causes Itching Burning Welts Throughout Body Long After Getting Anthrax Vaccination?

While in the military 2002-2003 I as many others received a series of anthrax vaccinations. Each time I received the shot I would break out with severe welts on the majority of my body accompanied with itching and burning symptoms for a period of time lasting almost up until the next shot of the series was given. After military medicine did everything they could think of to not connect it to the vaccine, they finally gave in after the 3rd episode and admitted that that was the cause finally annotating it in my military medical record with instruction that I was not to receive any additional shots of this type unless actually exposed to anthrax. As with the previous instances it went away after about 5-6 months. Now after 12 years the same symptoms have returned. I do not know what is causing it unless the is something in my blood from the preious time which has been dormant until now. Can you help me?
