Bluetongue: Vaccination Planning - Click
here!
On 19th December, Defra announced that it is placing a firm order with pharmaceutical company Intervet to supply 22.5 million doses of Bluetongue vaccine.
We understand the first batch of vaccine will arrive in May
In the meantime, DEFRA are considering possible vaccination plans so that they are fully prepared for when vaccine is delivered.
To support this process, they have set up a Bluetongue Vaccination Working Group with representatives from the devolved administrations, the farming industry, veterinary organisations and scientific experts on Bluetongue.
The group has been set up to support the purchase of vaccine and work on the practical details of a vaccination delivery plan, which must be submitted to the Commission for approval by the end of January 2008.
