Vaccine Administration and Requirements

The⁢ vaccine used in this campaign is a “live vaccine,” meaning it carries‌ a risk of infection ‌for those handling it. Therefore, the Agricultural ‌Defense mandates that the vaccine be administered exclusively by a​ registered ‌veterinarian. This requirement ensures proper handling and minimizes potential health risks.

The veterinarian is responsible for the correct application of the vaccine and for issuing a vaccination certificate ‌to the producer, providing official documentation of the animal’s immunization​ status.
