Introduction to the Guidelines for African swine fever (ASF) vaccines: field evaluation and post-vaccination monitoring
Replay
WOAH is pleased to invite you to a webinar marking the release of the Guidelines for African swine fever (ASF) vaccines: field evaluation and post-vaccination monitoring.
These guidelines provide practical technical guidance to support WOAH Members and relevant stakeholders in the design, implementation, and evaluation of field studies for ASF vaccines, as well as post-vaccination monitoring and evaluation of vaccination programmes. They aim to support evidence-based decision-making on the potential use of ASF vaccination as part of national or regional ASF prevention and control strategies.
The webinar will provide an opportunity to present the guidelines, their purpose and scope, and their relevance for Veterinary Services, competent authorities and partners involved in ASF vaccine evaluation and monitoring.
