KZN Agri nears 80% Foot-and-Mouth vaccination goal
KwaZulu-Natal is one of the worst affected provinces in the Foot-and-mouth outbreak.
The KwaZulu-Natal Agriculture Department is making significant progress in its efforts to vaccinate 80% of the province's estimated 2.5 million cattle against Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD). As of now, approximately 1.7 million cattle have been successfully vaccinated, with just two additional districts remaining to be covered. KwaZulu-Natal's Agriculture MEC, Thembeni KaMadlopha-Mthethwa, has emphasized the province's commitment to treating FMD as a major threat, pledging to maintain a strong vaccination program, stockpile vaccine supplies, and maintain staff presence to prevent a recurrence of the devastating disease.
