FARMERS and those with livestock in the area are being urged to vaccinate their animals to protect them from bluetongue if they have not already done so.
In a joint statement the NFU and CLA in the East Midlands said: "The vaccination campaign is going exceptionally well with more than nine million doses of vaccine made available to farmers in the protection zone."
