Not long ago, in the Khovsgol aimag, which borders Russia, there was a danger of the spread of plague.
To prevent unpleasant situations, specialists carry out vaccinations.
Vaccination against plague is being carried out in Mongolia using a drug from Russia. Details are reported by TASS with reference to the head of the public health department of the emergency work service of the national center for the study of zoonotic infections of the country Lkhunrev Rolomjava.
It is noted that vaccination in Mongolia is carried out every year. It is carried out on a voluntary basis. In 2024, vaccination will last until August 1 of this year.
According to Lkhunrev, since 2015, vaccinations have been carried out using a drug from Kazakhstan, but last year specialists began using a Russian vaccine.
Plague is a disease that is transmitted from an infected animal to a human. Its carriers are rats and mice. To prevent the plague, specialists use a vaccine.
