EHV vaccine

Due to the shortage of equine herpes vaccine, the Department of Agriculture has issued a licence for the import of 1,000 doses of Equip EHV1,4 vaccine from the UK. The vaccine can be obtained from registered veterinary surgeons through wholesalers Zoetis Ireland, Uniphar, C & M Vetlink, Agrihealth and Chanelle Provet. The Department has issued, on a very exceptional basis, a licence for the import of quantities up to 12,000 doses of Pneumabort K+Ib (Equine Rhinopneumonitis Vaccine) from the USA. The vaccine can be obtained from veterinary surgeons through Uniphar, C & M Vetlink, Agrihealth and Chanelle Provet. More details will be carried in next week’s issue in the Horse Sense feature.
