Vaccines are management tools for disease prevention and control. Use of an FMD vaccine in an outbreak is valuable and more complex than a routine livestock vaccine. Join us July 1 to learn about how FMD vaccine could be used in an outbreak, why the U.S. invests in an FMD vaccine bank, tests that can be used to know if an animal has been FMD vaccinated, how states are planning to use and are “practicing” getting a regulated vaccine from the “bank” into livestock.
