The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) wants a more sophisticated use of vaccines in preventing salmonella in poultrymeat and egg production. A complex set of guidelines says its usefulness and safety depends on whether disease reduction or eradication is being sought, the type of poultry, production stage, cost-benefit and other issues. One key is ensuring vaccinations are not passed onto humans, lessening their potency.
