# ActionSA has welcomed the publication of the Routine Vaccination Scheme for Foot-and-Mouth Disease by Agriculture minister John Steenhuisen, calling it a long-overdue step to improve disease control. The party says the framework allows private veterinarians and livestock owners greater involvement in vaccinations, shifting away from a centralised approach. However, ActionSA warns that success will depend on proper implementation, vaccine availability, and coordination between authorities. It says it will monitor progress closely to ensure the scheme delivers real results for farmers.
