First Round of Foot-and-Mouth Vaccination Completed in Northern Cyprus

The Turkish Cypriot Veterinary Association announced the completion of the first round of vaccinations for animals against the SAT1 type of foot-and-mouth disease in the occupied territories. However, it expresses concern about the lack of seriousness in disinfection activities, which are not being carried out with the required skill and discipline. The association urges the public and livestock farmers not to be misled by unscientific statements and to restrict the entry of people and vehicles from dangerous areas.
