The European Union sends 1.1 million vaccine doses to Romania to combat peste des petits ruminants
Published
The European Union has decided to support Romania in the fight against peste des petits ruminants (PPR) and sheep and goat pox. European authorities have approved the donation of 1.1 million vaccine doses from the Union's strategic reserves to help Romanian farmers limit the spread of these contagious diseases.
The first 300,000 vaccine doses have already arrived in our country and are ready for distribution. This measure is essential for protecting Romania's livestock sector, which has been severely affected in recent months by outbreaks appearing in several counties.
Luca Niculescu, Romania's representative to the European Union, emphasized the importance of this rapid assistance. Vaccination represents the most effective method to stop the transmission of the virus between animals and to prevent major economic losses for sheep and goat farmers.
Romanian veterinary authorities will begin the vaccination campaign immediately, according to the established plan. It is estimated that the remaining doses will arrive in the country in the coming period, thus ensuring the necessary supply to cover high-risk areas.
This initiative demonstrates the solidarity of European Union member states in the face of veterinary health crises. Through this support, Romania hopes to stop the active outbreaks as soon as possible and protect the health of animals on local farms.
