Petition Action

Investigate the Use of an Oral TB Vaccine for Badgers.

Petition Details

The US are saving an endangered species of ferret from Sylvatic plague using an oral vaccine deployed in food. Can we adapt these ideas and find an oral TB vaccine for badgers with a food we can deploy near setts for them to eat?

Additional Information

I Googled oral TB vaccine and found there is one for humans and it's more effective than the jab.Oral TB Vaccine:

The main objection to vaccination has always been the difficulty in trapping and injection. This solves that problem.
