Vaccination
Measures applying in a vaccination zone or to premises under notice15
1
The Scottish Ministers must, in a declaration of a vaccination zone or in a vaccination notice–
a
require the vaccination of poultry, other captive birds or any specified category of poultry or other captive bird in accordance with instructions issued by them; and
b
where vaccination is to be carried out by the Scottish Ministers, require co-operation with any person authorised by them to carry out vaccination.
2
No person shall move any poultry, other captive bird or their products–
a
within, into or out of a vaccination zone; or
b
into or out of premises stipulated in a vaccination notice,
except under the authority of a licence issued by a veterinary inspector or an inspector under the direction of a veterinary inspector.
3
In paragraph (2), “products” of poultry or other captive birds means any carcase, egg or any other thing originating or made (whether in whole or in part) from poultry or other captive birds or the carcases of such birds.
4
Paragraph (2) does not apply to–
a
products (other than eggs) which derive from poultry or other captive birds originating and slaughtered outside a vaccination zone or premises which are the subject of a vaccination notice; or
b
the retail distribution of poultry eggs after packing and movements subsequent to such distribution.
5
Paragraphs (2) to (4) apply without prejudice to any other requirement or restriction applying in any part of a zone or premises because that part of the zone or premises falls within another zone declared by the Scottish Ministers, or is the subject of another notice served by the Scottish Ministers, for the purposes of reducing the risk of the spread of avian influenza.
6
Any person moving poultry, other captive birds or their products within, into or out of a vaccination zone or into or out of premises stipulated in a vaccination notice must keep a record, in the form of a consignment note or otherwise, of the date of the movement and the registration of any vehicle used, for at least six weeks after the date of the movement.
