France will provide 813,191 free vaccine doses against bluetongue virus serotype 1 until 31 December 2026. The measure affects livestock farmers, especially sheep and other susceptible ruminant breeders, who need access to vaccination during the extended period. Farmers will still pay the veterinary costs linked to the prescription and injection. The order also removes a previous article from the 2024 rules, but the text does not describe any further operational change.
