Foot-and-mouth disease cases in Europe delay vaccination phase-out

Despite requests from Argentina’s four national farming organizations, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccination will continue unchanged at least until next October, according to La Nación newspaper. Sociedad Rural Argentina (SRA), Coninagro, Confederaciones Rurales Argentinas (CRA), and Federación Agraria Argentina (FAA) had asked the Agriculture Secretariat in March to gradually change the current twice-a-year vaccination scheme with the aim of phasing it out.
