Egypt to Launch National Livestock Vaccination Campaign on Sunday

Egypt’s Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation has announced a national livestock vaccination campaign beginning on Sunday.

The campaign will target cattle for vaccination against lumpy skin disease and sheep for vaccination against peste des petits ruminants, also known as small ruminant plague.

The rollout brings the two vaccination efforts under a single nationwide campaign, with each livestock group receiving protection against the disease specified for it.

The ministry’s announcement sets Sunday as the start date but does not specify how long the campaign will run or how many animals it aims to vaccinate.
