Post-Vaccination Assessment of Peste Des Petits Ruminants in Sheep and Goats in the United Arab Emirates
An efficient PPR vaccine was used to immunize small ruminants in the UAE. Higher (89.47-100%) post-vaccination herd immunity than the threshold recommended by the PPR GCES (>80% immunity) was attained, which can efficiently break the spread of PPRV within the UAE. To enhance the eradication of PPR I the UAE, conducting mass vaccination campaigns targeting over the (95%) immunization coverage of eligible animals for the next three years is recommended to attain the requested sustained (>80%) immunity at the animals holding level.
