What will the webinar cover?

Vaccination is increasingly being recognised as an important tool to assist in containing and eradicating FMD outbreaks in previously free countries.  There is growing interest in vaccinate-and-retain policy for the control of FMD to avoid the need for large scale culling of at-risk animals. However, keeping vaccinated animals in the population after an outbreak will delay the period until FMD-free status is regained under the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) guidelines and add additional complications to the post-outbreak surveillance program. This webinar will report on a modelling study in Australia that evaluated different approaches to managing vaccinated animals after an outbreak.
