Active vaccination of cattle against anthrax has begun in the Smolensk region.

Anthrax, caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, poses a serious threat to both animals and humans, especially those who handle animals and their products. Therefore, vaccination is an important step in ensuring public HEALTH.

Vaccinations are performed by qualified veterinarians, who conduct a preliminary health examination of animals to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedures. Veterinarians also educate pet owners on the importance of preventative measures.

The State Veterinary Service emphasizes that vaccination is only one part of a broader strategy to combat anthrax. Future plans include continued monitoring of the epidemiological situation and educational events for farmers and livestock owners, which should help ensure the health of both people and animals.
