The launch of Strangvac in Poland provides us with a new tool to reduce the health and economic impact of this terrible disease, keeping our horses safe”, says Dr Lucjan Witkowski from the Institute of Veterinary Medicine at University of Warsaw.
“Strangvac is approved for sale and marketing in the EU as well as the UK and Norway. Strangvac has been launched in Sweden, Denmark, the UK, France, Germany, the Benelux region, Austria, Ireland and now also in Poland. Outbreaks of equine strangles occur regularly and the disease cause great suffering and economic cost in the region and across Europe. Poland is an important equine market, and this is significant milestone for our continued launch around Europe.” comments Andreas Andersson, CEO of Intervacc.
