29 Declaration of an emergency vaccination zone following confirmation of classical swine fever or African swine fever

(1) This regulation applies where classical swine fever , or, in England, classical swine fever or African swine fever, has been confirmed and the appropriate authority is concerned that it threatens to spread to other areas. (2) The appropriate authority may decide to declare an emergency vaccination zone after considering relevant criteria and risk factors, including— (a) the rate at which outbreaks are confirmed; (b) the density of pigs in the area; (c) the likelihood of further outbreaks in the area for at least the next two months; (d) the availability of resources to control disease. (3) Premises which are partly inside and partly outside the outer boundary of an emergency vaccination zone must be deemed to be wholly inside that zone. (4) If an emergency vaccination zone is declared, the appropriate authority must publish an emergency vaccination plan relating to the zone. (5) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (6) The declaration must include details of the responsibilities of the appropriate authority for organising the vaccination and subsequent monitoring to assess its effectiveness in preventing the spread of disease. (7) Other than in the situation in paragraph (8) paragraph (7B) or (8), an emergency vaccination zone must remain in place for a period of at least 6 months after the completion of the vaccination operations within the zone (“the vaccination period”). (7A) The appropriate authority may use a marker vaccine during the vaccination period only in accordance with any requirements in the emergency vaccination plan. (7B) Where the vaccine used is a marker vaccine, the Secretary of State may reduce the vaccination period for a zone declared by the Secretary of State. (8) The appropriate authority may reduce the vaccination period where all the vaccinated pigs within the declared zone have been slaughtered and cleansing and disinfection has been carried out at all infected premises. (9) As far as reasonably practicable the appropriate authority must notify every keeper within the zone regarding the emergency vaccination requirements. (10) A person must not move a pig from premises in an emergency vaccination zone (other than a zone declared by the Secretary of State) unless a licence is granted by a veterinary inspector to move it direct to a designated slaughterhouse. (10A) A person must not move a pig from premises in an emergency vaccination zone declared by the Secretary of State unless in accordance with a licence granted by a licensing officer.

(12) The operator of a slaughterhouse must ensure— (a) that vaccinated pigs are kept and slaughtered separately from unvaccinated pigs; and (b) that the carcases of vaccinated pigs are kept separate from the carcases of unvaccinated pigs at the slaughterhouse. (13) During the vaccination period within an emergency vaccination zone, other than under a licence granted by a veterinary inspector, a person must not— (a) move any pig from any premises; (b) collect semen, embryos or ova from seropositive pigs; or (c) use semen, embryos or ova collected from pigs during the 30 days prior to vaccination.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
