Two million doses of the bluetongue vaccine from Kernfarm/CZ Vaccines are now available on the Dutch market. The medicine has received a positive recommendation from the Veterinary Medicines Division of the Medicines Evaluation Board (MEB) and the Veterinary Medicines Registration Committee.
“With the arrival of the third vaccine, which will be immediately available on the Dutch market, livestock farmers will have even more security and freedom of choice.“,” Adem was quick to please the farmers. — This is good news for both animals and farmers. “This means there are more than enough vaccines to prevent serious infections this summer.”.
The Minister considered that the department received “sufficient information on efficacy, safety and quality” new drug. As of May 27, the first delivery of this vaccine to veterinary clinics is now possible.
Following the serious spread of bluetongue among livestock, especially sheep, in the Netherlands last season, the country’s agriculture minister called for vaccines against the mosquito-borne virus to be developed “as soon as possible.” These funds are tested at an extremely accelerated pace. However, authorities say the new vaccines are completely safe to use.
