[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1057013, member: 16453"] Ron I can't answer your question but in Australia we only have a killed vaccine for BVD. I don't know the reason for sure but I suspect it is because the authorities here are always windy about allowing the introduction of live vaccines mainly due to the false positives that show up on serology should they want to do any large scale testing. I think a lot of this paranoia stems from the very successfull Brucellosis eradication that we undertook in the 70's and early 80's. All vaccination with Strain 19 was stopped to prevent the false +ve's and then we tested and slaughtered all +ves. Each herd had to have 3 clear tests before declared free. I think the success went to their heads and now it seems very difficult to get live vaccines in and they usually say it is because it will interfer with testing. Ken [/QUOTE]
