Olivier Brémaud et al., « La "vaccination assurance" et la "vaccination éradication" : deux conceptions opposées. I - Définitions », Bulletin de l'Académie Vétérinaire de France, ID : 10.4267/2042/64057
“Insurance vaccination” and “eradication vaccination” : tow opposite conception of. In the cost-benefit study of FMD vaccination in the E.C. countries, it seems that the word “vaccination” was covering both senses of “insurance by vaccination” and “eradication by vaccination”. Only one disease was eradicated worldwide : smallpox in humans, and this result was achieved thanks to huge vaccination campaigns. It appeared important to us, to give definitions of the différend aspect of an eradication policy using vaccination, before presenting later the characteristics and application of the ideal vaccine for the “eradication concept”.
