Ordered vaccinations for 300,000 pigs to prevent an outbreak of influenza A (H1N1) in Honduras
The Honduran government ordered 300,000 vaccinate pigs across the country to avoid a possible outbreak of influenza A (H1N1) reported today the National Security Service Agropecuaria (SENASA).
The compulsory measure was taken because in some areas people do not apply these vaccines because of their economic conditions, said the program coordinator for the control of influenza A (H1N1) Senasa, Gustavo Guti?rrez.
2008 to date, some 80,000 farmers were visited, which has covered 95 percent of the country.
To eradicate the disease in pigs only needed to cover five of the 298 municipalities of the Central American country.
In 2006, a pig died due to this virus, however to date there has been another case. (Xinhua)
