Do not inject poultry vaccines: How to handle?

Through the monitoring process, the authorities noted that many households refused to inject their poultry vaccines. Handling this problem how? Mr. NGOC HAO DAI, Deputy Director of Veterinary Department, said:

- In addition to propaganda, here we will apply administrative measures to those households who do not comply with regulations. There is a 'stick' that localities have just implemented effective vaccination.

* Sir, is it reasonable for producers to worry about having to spend a budget to vaccinate poultry?

- Small farmers do not have to pay anything, they just have to bring chickens for injection. Concentrated breeding farms with 2,000 or more chickens, foreign breeding enterprises, joint ventures must spend money to buy vaccines for injection. But the number of non-vaccinated poultry is mainly poultry of small producers, not large farms.

* But 28 days after vaccination of poultry, will it be difficult for households to sell poultry right away?

- We stipulate that if the time of raising poultry is more than 70 days before consumption, it must be injected. This is to ensure sufficient time for two doses of vaccine. If the time they consume is less than 70 days, we do not inject. Inject vaccines to prevent bird disease, not to vaccinate people to not sell poultry.
