The Members of the EU confirmed that there is no support for general preventive vaccination of animals for the EU as a whole. Vaccination is only used when the preemptive killing of animals must be delayed due to certain constraints.

On a related note, the USDA has prohibited the importation of all used farm equipment imported from country affected by Foot and Mouth Disease.
