Vaccinations for Foot-and-Mouth Disease Progressing - Livestock Farmers Meet Experts

Vaccinations for foot-and-mouth disease are progressing normally in Greece, with the completion of vaccinations for cattle within the 3-kilometer zone and the continuation in the 10-kilometer zone. 23,500 doses of vaccines have already been distributed to private veterinarians. Efforts are also underway to procure vaccines for pigs. Experts from the European Union are on the island, informing livestock farmers about the vaccination program and protection measures. The EU Commissioner for Animal Health expressed his satisfaction with the management of the situation and assured EU support, both in terms of vaccine supply and ensuring exports. Sampling and laboratory tests continue, with all results so far being negative.
