Urging vaccination for livestock after low vaccination rates
Ha Tinh - The Provincial People's Committee has just directed specialized agencies to coordinate with local authorities and livestock owners to speed up disease vaccination for livestock.
According to the People's Committee of Ha Tinh province, the African swine fever epidemic is occurring in 7 communes of Cam Xuyen, Huong Khe districts and Ha Tinh city for less than 21 days.
In the face of epidemics, along with the changing seasons, the resistance of livestock has decreased, facilitating the development of pathogens; transportation and trading activities to re-herd have increased.
In addition, according to the report of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the results of the first vaccination in 2025 for livestock are still as low as planned, so the risk of disease in livestock arising and spreading in the coming time is very high.
To proactively take measures to prevent and control epidemics, ensure safety for livestock development and speed up the first vaccination progress in 2025 for livestock, the People's Committee of Ha Tinh province requires localities with dangerous infectious diseases, especially African swine fever, to focus on directing and mobilizing resources to completely handle outbreaks, preventing epidemics from breaking out and spreading widely.
Do not let the arrangement of organizations and apparatus in localities affect disease prevention and control.
"Focus on directing the acceleration of the first vaccination schedule in 2025 for livestock to ensure that at least 80% of livestock are fully vaccinated with the correct vaccine at the time of vaccination, to be completed before May 30, 2025" - according to the direction of the People's Committee of Ha Tinh province.
Strengthen propaganda to raise awareness and responsibility of people about the risk of epidemics and disease prevention and control measures; the effect and effectiveness of vaccination on the health of livestock, protecting livestock production results.
Establish working groups to inspect and urge disease prevention and control, and vaccination in the first phase of 2025, strictly handle violations according to the law.
