Signal detection

Regulation (EU) 2019/6 establishes an EU-wide pharmacovigilance system led by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in collaboration with Member States for all veterinary medicinal products authorised in at least one EU country. The entry into force of this Regulation on 28 January 2022 brought a change of approach to pharmacovigilance which is now based on a signal detection process.

Avian influenza: three vaccination scenarios for poultry

Health crises caused by avian influenza have been recurring and growing in scale, which means that preventive measures on French poultry farms need to be reinforced. The vaccination of poultry is a possible option that is being considered to supplement the biosecurity measures already in place on these farms. To help the public authorities establish a vaccination strategy that could be implemented as early as autumn 2023, ANSES is proposing three preventive vaccination scenarios. They aim to protect poultry sectors and limit the spread of the virus by determining the types of farms and the species to be vaccinated as a priority, depending on the available vaccination resources.
