Overview
- Agriculture Minister Annie Genevard said a general vaccination of the national herd is under review, calling vaccination the best prevention.
- For now, doses remain limited to infected zones under the current containment strategy.
- A stakeholder session at the Parlement de l'élevage on Tuesday will examine whether to broaden vaccination policy.
- Officials report a little over 100 outbreak sites and about 3,000 cattle culled, roughly 0.02% of France’s 16 million‑head herd.
- Genevard cited suspected illicit animal transports from the Ecleux focus in Jura as a likely entry route, with investigations ongoing.
