September 2021 Highlights from OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Standards Commission/September 2021 at website https://www.oie.int/app/uploads/2021/11/a-tahsc-sept-2021-report.pdf
Terrestrial Animal Health Standards Commission (the Code Commission) aka (TAHSC):
1. "The Commission
explained that as there were currently no means to distinguish between vaccinated and infected
pigs in accordance with the Terrestrial Manual, point 6 may only be satisfied by countries or zones
that do not carry out vaccination." pg. 13
2. "The Commission noted that vaccination had been
globally banned since 2008, and therefore, some previously vaccinated animals could be still alive. It
also reminded Members of the rationale presented in its February 2021 report that this information may
be relevant in the event of re-emergence of rinderpest if emergency vaccination is used.
In response to comments to better differentiate the definition of a ‘suspected case’ from a ‘potential
case’, the Code Commission noted that the identification of potential cases was based on the exclusion
of other possible causes of ‘stomatitis-enteritis syndrome’ by epidemiological or clinical investigations
only, while if other diseases had been ruled out by laboratory investigations, it should be considered a
‘suspected case’." pg. 22
3. "Control of biological hazards of animal health and public health importance through ante- and post-mortem meat inspection, are presented as Annex 18, and are proposed for adoption at the 89th General Session in May 2022." pg. 36
