THE Herefordshire Badger Vaccination Group will hold a coffee morning on November 15 from 10am to noon Belmont Community Centre.

Herefordshire Badger Vaccination Group is a small charitable group set up to give farmers the choice in how they tackle bovine TB on their farms.

Over 20 years, scientific research by government environmental bodies, has gone into the development of an effective vaccination strategy.

Scientific research has also been carried out by government bodies into badger culling.

The evidence points to vaccination as the most effective strategy to tackle bovine TB. The group’s vaccination work gives farmers a choice. Having a choice is important for both farmers’ livelihoods and for a healthy wildlife population.

Everyone who carries out this work is a volunteer; any funds raised are therefore used to purchase vaccine and vital equipment.

The coffee morning is a fundraiser to help fund their work in 2017.
