Cornwall Badger Vaccination Pilot

Defra requires a three-year contract for badger vaccination and research activities in three (3) pilot areas in Cornwall.

There will be three (3) different approaches to badger vaccination delivery carried out under this Pilot: Annual, Bi-annual and Reactive, with TB blood tests carried out on a proportion of the badgers.

This unique pilot aims to provide scientific evidence in support of the Government manifesto pledge to stop badger culling and move to badger vaccination as the main form of TB control in badgers.
