HA NOI ? Viet Nam has vaccinated approximately 54.4 million poultry and the bird flu epidemic in localities is still well under control, according to Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development?s Animal Health Department.
Report at a meeting held by Central Steering Committee on the Control of Bird Flu and Foot and Mouth Disease on Tuesday, the department said there were 34 cities and provinces that had carried out the second vaccination on poultry this year.
Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat said there were still more than 10 million geese not vaccinated yet.
He urged the department to complete the project emphasising the demand of vaccination for goose stocks as soon as possible. It was expected that the project would be sent for Government approval this month in order to import more vaccine before the Lunar New Year.
He wanted cities and provinces nationwide to closely examine small-scale poultry slaughter, strictly enforce regulations and crack down on violators.
