The vaccination campaign to combat rift valley fever will start today in the Uis area. This follows after the process was slowed down, due to the fact that the vaccine wasn’t available in the country.

Around 23 000 animals will be vaccinated on 46 farms over the next couple of weeks and it is said to be a difficult task at hand. Argriculture officer, mr Zebo Kanina, said that the vaccinating of larger livestock would be problematic because there are no cattle pens in the area.

This disease is also rather new to farmers in the area and it will be the first time that they will be introduced on how to keep the disease restrained. Kanina said that this would definitely be a learning experiencing for everyone.

There are two teams from the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry that will be in charge of this campaign. The teams include agriculture experts and veterinarians.

Farmers in the South have suffered big losses earlier this year due to rift valley fever. It is still unknown as to how long this vaccination campaign will last.
