EU Delivers 500,000 FMD Vaccines to Cyprus

The European Commission has delivered 500,000 doses of SAT1 Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccine to the Republic of Cyprus. The doses are intended for vaccination activities in areas where the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective control, aiming to strengthen animal immunity and reduce disease transmission. This initiative seeks to protect farmers, animal health, and prevent the spread of the disease in Cyprus and the wider region. The Commission will continue to monitor the situation and assess further needs for effective disease management.
