The use of antigen and vaccine banks in case of emergency vaccination in the European community

Abstract
The Community control measures for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) have been reviewed and are currently laid down in Directive 2003/85/EC of 29 September 2003. The Community is free of FMD and infection without practising vaccination. Legal provisions are in place to resort to emergency vaccination where required by the epidemiological situation and reserves of suitable antigens of the FMD virus for express formulation into vaccines have been established.
