Vaccination proof needed

The Meadowlands, on the recommendation of the Department of Agriculture, will now require that all horses competing at the track have proof of vaccination for equine herpes virus. Written verification of vaccination within the last six months from a licensed and accredited veterinarian will have to be on record with the race office.



"We don't feel there should be any problem with compliance," said Meadowlands director of racing and racing secretary Tad Stockman, in a Meadowlands release. "This is for the protection of all the horsemen in New Jersey."



Episodes of equine herpes virus [EHV-1] have been reported at other racetracks in North America, including Northville Downs in Michigan and The Meadows in Western Pennsylvania. EHV is a virus that can cause respiratory infection, abortion and neurological disease in horses. It is not transmissible to humans or other animals but highly contagious to other horses.
