Intensive Vaccinations Continue in 10km Zone – No New Cases

Intensive vaccinations of cattle in the 10-kilometer zone around the outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease continue, with no new cases detected. At the same time, a request has been submitted for the supply of vaccines for pigs. Veterinary services informed cattle and sheep/goat farmers about the vaccination program and protection measures taken by experts from the European Union. Cattle farmers expressed concern about the possibility of a universal vaccination of the livestock population in Cyprus and its impact on product exports. EU experts will re-examine the case in 14 days to decide on the possibility of universal vaccination. In the Akamas area, where the disease has not appeared, vaccination is not currently being considered.
