The first purchase of Foot and Mouth Disease vaccines has been delivered to the US.
Earlier this year, USDA announced the $27 million purchase and the shipment arrived last week. The National Pork Producers Council reports, while a good start, the shipment is not enough to settle a nationwide outbreak should one occur, so they look forward to working with USDA to ensure the FMD vaccine bank is adequately stocked – a priority outlined in the 2018 Farm Bill.
