anthrax

Lets just say a friend of mine(lets just call him Bob), gets offered a free anthrax jab out of the blue. If Bob were, lets say deployable aircrew, refused the jab, then got sent sausage side and died as aresult of anthrax poisoning - would Bobs relatives have a case against the govt? For say, sending him into battle without making it compulsary to have said vaccination. If he takes the jab and dies before he goes sausage side (of some virus bought on as a result of said jab) what are the consequences for the muppet who decided this is purely a voluntary precaution for aircrew. P.S. This is a purely hypothetical question which in no way reflects the reality faced by certain aircrew at a certain military base.
