Regulation 35 Vaccination zoneI1

The Department may declare a vaccination zone in which all occupiers of premises inside the zone containing a pig shall ensure the vaccination of those pigs in accordance with that declaration.

An occupier who fails to vaccinate a pig in accordance with the declaration commits an offence.

Premises partly inside and partly outside a vaccination zone are treated as being inside the zone.

In the case of pigs outside a vaccination zone, or if a vaccination zone has not been declared, a veterinary inspector may serve a notice on an occupier of a premises containing a pig requiring that occupier to ensure that the pig is vaccinated in accordance with the notice, and failure to comply with the notice is an offence.

Nothing in paragraph (3) shall deem any part of a premises lying outside Northern Ireland to be within a vaccination zone.
