animal vaccination

Livestock disease prevention

Animal vaccination is the administration of vaccines to animals to prevent infectious diseases.

Veterinarians vaccinate pets, livestock, and wildlife against illnesses like rabies, distemper, and foot-and-mouth disease.

Beyond protecting individual animals, vaccination programs control outbreaks that threaten agricultural economies or could spread to humans: The country launched an animal vaccination campaign after detecting avian flu.
