Vaccination programmes must contain at least the following information:

1. The nature of the disease calling for a request to be made to vaccinate.

2. Information shall be supplied on the coastal and mainland areas, the sites and farms in which vaccination may be carried out: under no circumstances may vaccination be conducted beyond the limits of the infected area and, if necessary, the buffer zone established around the infected area.

3. Detailed information on the vaccine to be used, including the type(s) of vaccine which may be used.

4. Detailed information on the conditions for use, frequency of vaccination and the limits on use of the vaccine (which fish, which cages, etc.).

5. The criteria for ceasing vaccination.

6. Provisions shall be adopted to ensure that a log is kept of past vaccinations (dates, sites and farms in which vaccination has been conducted, the establishment of a buffer zone, etc.).

7. Measures shall be taken for fish movements to be limited within the vaccination area so as to guarantee that fish can leave the vaccination area only if they are to be killed for human consumption, or if necessary to be destroyed.

8. Any other necessary provisions required for vaccination."
