Dear Paul,
 
I would like to request for opinion on vaccination in the face of the outbreak of PPR in the herd.

Dr. M. Afzal
Project Coordinator
FAO Pakistan, Islamabad

In my opinion vaccination of infected and at-risk flocks/herds with good quality PPR vaccine stops transmission very quickly with new clinical cases  ceasing after one or two weeks.  If PPR vaccine is like RP vaccine (an assumption I know) then it provides protective imunity through non-specific mechanisms like interference within 2-3 days, and detectable specific antibody within 5-6 days (VN tests).  More answers please. Moderator.
