Re: [RC] Equine Influenza in Australia - Kathy Mayeda

After going through EHV-1 lockdown in the SF Bay Area last spring, the vets were saying that this particular strain of EHV-1 is not affected by the vaccine. So I don't know why they are vaccinating, unless they have a new vaccine available.

We were also on a voluntary quarantine for strangles a couple of months ago at my boarding facility.

And it's also been a bad pigeon fever year this year.

Sigh.

The government is limiting vaccinations to the race horses
and the TB breeding stock, and certain other "high-value"
horses such as police horses, entertainment horses,
Olympic horses, etc.

I confess I am slightly confused by this statement. I would think that Olympic horses would already be vaccinated for Equine Influenza since it is a requirement of having and maintaining and FEI passport (or is that requirement waived for Australian horses)?
