Md. Begins Horse Vaccination
Maryland Animal Health De
partment officials, in coopera
tion with the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, have approved
a program of vaccination for
horses against Venezuelan
Equine Encephalomyelitis
(VEE), the “sleeping sickness”
virus that recently caused the
death of hundreds of horses in
Texas.

At the same time, animal
health officials announced
modification of the existing
quarantine to allow importation
of horses from states where
VEE exists, providing the
horses have been vaccinated at
least 14 days prior to importa
tion. Restrictions have also
been lifted on importing horses

tion programs are in effect.
However, any horse coming in
to the state must be accom
panied by an official health
certificate as is required by
present regulations.
The state vaccination pro-
gram will be voluntary, Dr.
Thomas Ladson, state veteri
x narian, points out, and there
will be no cost to the horse
owner. The USDA will supply
the vaccine and reimburse prac
ticing veterinarians for admin
istering it.
“We are shooting for a be
ginning date of September 7,”
Dr. Ladson adds. By that time
enough vaccine will be avail
able for all the horses, ponies,
mules and asses in the state.
There will be a definite cut-off
date for the free federal-state
program. Officials hope that the
vaccination program can be
completed in one month.
Commercial vaccine will be
available and horse owners may
have veterinarians vaccinate
horses at the owner’s expense
at any time.
“Details of the program are
not yet complete,” Dr. Ladson
says, “But we will keep horse
owners informed as the pro
gram develops.”
He pointed out that while an
emergency does not now exist,
vaccination is an “insurance
program” to protect the state’s
horse industry and the people
of Maryland.
Recent experience in Texas
has shown the vaccine to be
safe and effective in controlling
and cantaining the disease, and
treated horses have shown no
undesirable side effects.
Maryland is one of nine states
to be involved in the USDA vac
cination program; the others
are Delaware, New Jersey, Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky
and parts of Missouri.
