“Vaccination is one of the tools used by governments to control diseases.
"In countries where government policy does not, for whatever reason, include vaccination, government usually incentivises disease reporting and compliance through compensation for the resultant loss of livestock.
"We are hoping that government would find the required funding somewhere to do the same in South Africa,” Nkuna said.
