Vaccines are critical tools for ensuring livestock remain healthy.
An outbreak of a foreign animal disease could threaten a producer’s livelihood and the entire food supply. The National Pork Producers Council recently met with Tennessee state lawmakers about the safety of MRNA vaccines.
Right now, ten states have bills in the works addressing those vaccines. They would either require labels for vaccinated animals, allow MRNA-free labels, or ban the use of MRNA vaccines entirely.
Several other groups were in attendance.
NPPC stands behind MRNA vaccines and says that they are a tool for fighting endemic and foreign animal diseases.
