From the beginning of the year to the end of October 2023, there have been 481 African swine fever outbreaks in 42 provinces and cities in Vietnam, resulting in the destruction of over 18,000 pigs. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has allowed the use of ASF vaccine nationwide since July 2023, but its limited use remains a concern due to hesitancy among pig farmers and a lack of understanding about the vaccine. Officials are urging localities to develop disease prevention plans, including the use of vaccinations, and to publish the results of using the ASF vaccine to increase awareness about its effectiveness.
