*Equine Flu*

Equine Influenza: this is the biggest outbreak for 10 years. It started in February 2019, then peaks have come with the showing season and with hunting. Shows and hunts are working to have all participating equines vaccinated. Recent research shows that the viral aerosol spread can be up to two kilometres, so isolation is not the answer. Vaccinated and unvaccinated horses should not mix. At the beginning of the 2019 40% of equines were vaccinated, this has increased to 60%, but to gain ‘herd immunity’ the percentage must be 80%. So current advice is every equine should be vaccinated annually, and preferably six monthly. Most events are now requiring entrants to have been vaccinated within six months of the event – but after 7 days.
