“…This perception could be due to limited access to information or misinformation about the benefits of vaccines in preventing and controlling animal diseases. Providing evidence‐based information on the positive outcomes of veterinary vaccines, such as reduced disease incidence and improved animal health, may help change this perception (Girma et al., 2022; Nuvey et al., 2023; Sander et al., 2020).

Vaccination utilization by farmers to protect herds against these diseases was also very low (39) although observed as the key intervention that reduces the mortalities (35). There is thus the need for transdisciplinary strategies that improve high quality vaccine adoption, given the availability of effective vaccines to control these diseases (40).…”
