Dear All,
This approach of vaccine delivery may be useful in initial stages but will omit many herders and smallholders with no awareness and resources.

Subject: From Dr Nick Honhold responding to Dr David Shamaki's contribution

Dear All

This raises an interesting question. If we have a reliable thermostable vaccine that might survive ragged cold chains, can we move to making the vaccine available in endemic areas for livestock keepers and their health workers to purchase and have administered? It wouldn't work everywhere I know, but there may be places where it could. It would decrease the need for massive and hard to organise vaccine campaigns.

This concept is very relevant because I don't think that we can expect public resources to do everything that will be required.   The involvement of the private sector and individual livestock owners will be important and where appropriate need to be integrated with more "centralized" approaches to vaccine delivery and disease surveillance elsewhere.     More comments please - Moderator.
