“Paralytic Rabies Vaccination Program in Tabasco – Lack of Resources and Support”

The deputy member of the Agricultural, Forestry and Fisheries Development Commission, Jesús Antonio Ochoa, assured that although there is a vaccination program against paralytic rabies, the resources do not land in Tabasco.

From what he pointed out that it is the head of SEDAFOP himself, Jorge Suárez Vela, who is not informed because certainly the federation implements a program for this purpose, there are label resources for that, but it is not clear where they have ended up.

This is because the mortality of cattle continues and there is no support for vaccination, since the producers are the ones who must pay for the power to inoculate their animals as a prevention.

“We have already said that it is a serious problem that could be something even worse if the necessary measures are not taken,” he said.

This is despite the fact that the National Agrifood Health, Safety and Quality Service (Senasica) reported that in the first quarter of 2023 it applied 43,160 doses of rabies vaccine in Tabasco.
