🚨‼️Important Information Regarding Vaccination Permissions ‼️🚨

Please note that vaccination permissions are now strictly specific to the property, veterinary practice, and applicant. This year, all clients must submit a motivation explaining why the permission is required.

Key Points to Remember:

- Permissions cannot be transferred to another person or property, even if the horse is sold or moved.
- ⁠If the vet arrives at a property and the permission is not issued for that specific yard, the vet may not proceed with vaccination.
- If this happens, please contact the state vet immediately to inform them.

In summary, permissions are granted for specific horses to be vaccinated at a designated location and practice only. For any further information please contact SAEHP on 021 001 4363
