France Galop has confirmed updated vaccination protocols for Equine Influenza and Equine Herpes Virus, with revised timescales coming into effect on 5 May 2021.

Trainers considering running their horses in France should be aware that any horse requiring a new primary course as of 5 May 2021 will need to comply with the updated protocol.

Horses that received their last booster between six months and one year ago should complete their next booster before 5 May 2021, and then comply with the six-month protocol from that date.

We have previously advised trainers that the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ industry consultation regarding updated vaccination protocols, due to take place in 2020, was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is our intention to complete this consultation at the earliest possible opportunity.
