500,000 Foot-and-Mouth Vaccine Doses Delivered to TRNC via EU

The European Commission has delivered 500,000 doses of foot-and-mouth disease vaccine to the Republic of Cyprus, aimed at strengthening vaccination activities in the areas of Cyprus where the Cypriot government does not exercise effective control. This aid aims to protect animals and limit the risk of disease spread, as well as protect the livelihoods of farmers. The Commission will continue to monitor the situation and assess further needs. The provision of vaccines is being done through the European vaccine bank.
