WOAH Guidelines on Vaccination for International Trade

21 May 2026

Official reference: WOAH — Animal Health & Welfare

WOAH Terrestrial Code chapters describe when vaccination may affect disease-free status, how to design national programmes, and what evidence regulators expect for licensed veterinary vaccines. Topics include seed strain matching, booster intervals, and post-vaccination monitoring.

PVPA vaccine manufacturers should cross-reference these guidelines with DRAP registration requirements and farm-level protocols published by provincial livestock departments.
