The Government has launched a campaign to vaccinate livestock. On his December 2010 trip to Russia, Prime Minister S.Batbold asked Russian officials if Mongolia could import Russian vaccines. Now Russia has said it will send 34 million units of foot-and-mouth disease vaccine to Mongolia, as well as 22 vehicles used for disinfecting and sanitizing.
Nine million units of the vaccine were imported last week. They will be used to vaccinate animals in seven aimags and in Ulaanbaatar.
