	tabling member constituency	Hendon
	tabling member printed	Dr Matthew Offord
	uin	292889
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2019 answer text <p>Vaccination of cattle against the bovine TB bacterium is a part of our long-term eradication strategy. There are merits to cattle vaccination as it has the potential to reduce the prevalence, incidence and spread of TB. As with badgers, however, BCG (<em>M. bovis </em>- bacille Calmette-Guérin) vaccination is not completely effective, and has no impact on already infected cattle. It also sensitises cattle to the tuberculin skin test used to identify animals infected with TB, so we need to licence an effective test that differentiates between the disease and the vaccine before deployment would be possible.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 07/10/2019 14:58:17 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
