Hi Joyce,
I think they will vaccinate to keep the disease from
spreading and then slaughter anyway. Or as Bryn put it
stamp out. So both are right.

In any future outbreak, the UK government will be
bound, by EU law, to
consider vaccination, but this does not mean an end
to the
slaughter-and-burn scenes we saw nightly on our
televisions during the
peak of the 2001 epidemic."

or from warmwell:

Sept 30 – Oct 6 ~"Emergency vaccination is moved to
the forefront of
control measures instead of being the last resort.
The new legislation
is a true reform." David Byrne

So which is right? I seem to remember the UK
government considered
vaccination many times in 2001.
