An "anti-carbuncle vaccine" can refer to two entirely different things depending on whether you are looking at veterinary medicine or human medicine.
In veterinary contexts, a "carbuncle" (specifically bacterial or hematic carbuncle) is an alternative name for anthrax, and an anti-carbuncle vaccine is a routine livestock immunization. In human medicine, a carbuncle is a severe, multi-headed cluster of skin boils usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. There is no widely available, routinely approved human vaccine for staph-related carbuncles.
