4/21/2010 - Say No to Voluntary Ei Vaccination
BRIEF:
If there was ever a time that every horse, pony person should come together for the welfare of our equine here in Australia - this is it!
Please forward on this web address to everyone you know, no matter what discipline or part of the equine industry ...

This is our last chance to SAY NO to voluntary EI vaccination - vote NO now
There is scientific evidence to support the view that voluntary vaccination will lead to Equine Influenza being re-introduced to Australia. Not only will we have wasted millions of dollars to eradicate it but will adversely affect the health of our horses, our industries and our pockets.
Please pass on the web address to all: www.SayNotoVoluntaryEIVaccination.com
show our strength... we have the numbers..... stand up and be noticed!!
we only have another week before the decision is made at the Primary Industries Ministerial Council meeting on the 23rd April in Darwin so please pass it on!
AHIC's Position : No EI Disease - No Vaccination
Background
The Australian Horse Industry Council (AHIC) has a policy that Equine Influenza (EI) vaccination should not be permitted in the absence of an incursion of EI virus. The recent meeting of AHIC's Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) held on the 26th February unanimously endorsed the AHIC Board's policy.
