Brazil reconignizes 16 states as free of foot and mouth disease without vaccination
The Ordinance also prohibits the storage, sale and use of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines in these units of the Federation and also restricts the movement of animals and products from these areas to other locations that still practice vaccination in the country.
The prohibition on the movement of animals will remain in force until the WOAH (World Organization for Animal Health) grants international recognition of the sanitary status of free from foot and mouth disease without vaccination to all units of the Federation. The regulations come into force from May 2.
In April, the last immunization against foot and mouth disease will be carried out in the states of Bahia, Maranhão, Pará, Piauí, Río de Janeiro, Roraima, Sergipe and part of the state of Amazonas.
For states that will not suspend vaccination, as is the case of Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas, the vaccination stages against foot and mouth disease in 2024 continue in the months of May and November.
The goal is for Brazil to be completely free of foot and mouth disease without vaccination by 2026.
