The Ministry of Agriculture does not consider it necessary to vaccinate all beef in the CSC, but only in Gipuzkoa

Although the Department of Agriculture of the Basque Government has requested vaccination against nodular dermatosis for the whole of the CAPV, the Spanish Ministry considers it sufficient to do so only in two small areas of Álava and Bizkaia bordering Gipuzkoa.

Following the meeting of the RASVE (Veterinary Health Alert Network) of the Spanish Government, the Basque Government has reported that theSpanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food will not vaccinate all cattle in the Basque Country againstcontagious nodular dermatosis , but only in Gipuzkoa.

According to reports from the Department of Food, Rural Development, Agriculture and Fisheries ofthe Basque Government, the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country has proposed a general preventive vaccination of cattle , but the Ministry considers it sufficient to carry it out in Gipuzkoa and in two "small areas" of Álava and Bizkaia bordering Gipuzkoa.

The Lakua Government believes that this is not a good measure because there are areas in the Basque Country where cattle are abundant and do not border with Gipuzkoa, such as Carranza or Valdegovia. 

General vaccination was also requested at the previous meeting,  togetherwith Navarra and Aragón, but the Ministry's proposal was that preventive vaccination should take place in the territories bordering the Pyrenees and the decision has been confirmed today.

So far 115 foci have been registered in France and no cases have been detected in Spain since 24 October. So far, there have been 17 foci, all in the province of Girona.

Amaia Barredo's department is studying the content of today's meeting for further reading in the next few hours.
