Pig Sector workshop

We would like to invite you to participate in an online Vaccine Availability Pig Sector workshop, with representatives from vaccine prescribers and users (farmers, vets and SQPs) in the pig sector.

This workshop will take place on Monday the 20th of July at 13:00-16:30. Please respond to the poll below to confirm your attendance.

A calendar invitation and teams link will be sent out to confirmed attendees.

The purpose of the workshop is to support joint discussion on sector specific vaccine challenges, including:

• Prioritising vaccines for further proactive intervention.
• Identifying and prioritising therapeutic gaps, where no suitable vaccine is currently authorised in the UK.

To note:

• The meeting link, pre-reading materials and the agenda will be circulated to all confirmed participants a week prior to the workshop.
• The workshop will run for a maximum of three and a half hours and will include a 15-minute break.
• We suggest you access the meeting using a laptop to ensure full participation in the breakout rooms and interactive elements.

Background:

The Veterinary Medicine Directorate (VMD) published a Statement of Intent: UK Veterinary Vaccine Availability - GOV.UK in September 2025. This Statement of Intent outlines a strategic framework to address veterinary vaccine availability, to be delivered through a development of a multisector, multistakeholder Action Plan.  This workshop forms part of a series of sector specific workshops to convene stakeholders to inform action plan development.  

 Poll: Are you able to attend the Vaccine Availability Pig Sector Workshop?

We look forward to a productive and informative discussion.
