QLD State Eventing Championships 04/05 October

The Organising Committee of Fig Tree Pocket Equestrian Club wish to advise that the QLD Eventing State Championships on the 04 / 05 October will be a Hendra Vaccinated Event.

If you wish to compete and have not yet vaccinated your horses, we strongly suggest that you commence the process immediately to ensure your horse is fully compliant with the EA Hendra Vaccination By-Law.

Annexure 1 of the Hendra Vaccination By-law states :-

Horses require two doses of HEV (Hendra Virus) vaccine administered 21 to 42 days apart to provide protection with 21 days to have elapsed following the second dose before full protection is achieved.

Every six months following the second HEV vaccine dose, another booster vaccination dose is required.

Failure to give a booster vaccination within 35 days from the due date means that full protection is not maintained until it is administered. If the booster dose is more than 6 months late, the vaccination program would need to be restarted again.

Thank you for your understanding.
