The FEI has instituted more stringent equine influenza vaccination requirements for horses entered in FEI competitions for 2005. Horses will now need vaccinations every 6 months in order to compete. Switching to the more frequent vaccination schedule does not require a new initial series of shots. The rule change approved by the General Assembly 2004 states:
"The FEI requirement for equine influenza vaccination will be for booster vaccinations at 6-month intervals as from 1 January 2005." Implementation of sanctions will be on a gradual basis. Complete details are available on the FEI website.
