Ewes Vaccine not available Because of Manufacturing Issues

A batch error in the production processes will cause a delay in the availability of the enzootic abortion of ewes vaccine from June to August.

Ceva Animal Health explained that the batch ‘’failed to meet the quality expected to be suitable for release”.

This consequently “temporarily affected the ability to meet the demands of the UK sheep market within the main seasonal vaccination period for EAE”.

“As a responsible provider, we are actively addressing these issues to minimise the impact on customers,” stated Roy Geary, regional director of Ceva Animal Health.

He continued “The manufacturing of vaccines is a complex process that involves stringent quality control measures and adherence to regulatory guidelines.’’

“We encourage all farmers to consult their vet and explore alternative means of safeguarding the health of their flocks during this period,” Mr Geary said.
