On October 15, the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province announced that it had just issued a decision to receive and distribute more than 12,900 doses of foot-and-mouth disease vaccine issued by the Central Government (from national reserve) to localities in the province to implement the second phase of livestock vaccination in 2025.
The Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to direct the Department of Animal Husbandry and Rural Development to organize the handover of these vaccines to the communes of Ngon Bay, Boi Y, Da Long, Da D Doc Pac, Van Tuong, Long Phung within 5 days to instruct the communes on how to manage and use them...
The People's Committees of the above communes are responsible for completing the vaccination, settling the vaccination results, and sending them to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development before November 30, 2025.
foot-and-mouth disease is considered by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) as the most dangerous infectious disease of all infectious diseases in livestock in general and in pigs in particular.
The danger of foot-and-mouth disease is due to the possibility of spreading very quickly and spreading widely through the air. The virus can spread through the air with a radius of kilometers, so when the disease broke out, the damage to livestock farmers was huge.
Previously, in July 2025, in Dong Loc village, Dak Plo commune (Quang Ngai), foot-and-mouth disease appeared in a herd of 62 cows with 17 households. The locality has coordinated with the provincial Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine to urgently deploy measures to prevent and control the epidemic from spreading widely, causing great damage to livestock farmers.
