SUMMARY:An Evening with Dr Lindsay Heasman: The VESBA (Vaccinating East Sussex Badgers) Project and biosecurity steps we can all take to protect herds from TB risks
DESCRIPTION:SEAG are hosting a webinar on 23 April at 8 pm with Dr Lindsay Heasman\, director of Hurst Animal Health Ltd on vaccinating badgers as a tool that can reduce the risk of bovine TB from wildlife sources. \nDr Lindsay Heasman is Director of Hurst Animal Health Ltd\, a company that provides independent research and consultancy services to the livestock sector\, in particular regarding bovine TB. Lindsay is Project Manager for both the large-scale badger vaccination programme in East Sussex that commenced in 2021\, and the recently announced Badger Vaccination Field Force. Lindsay has previously been involved in delivering the TB Advisory Service and in the cattle vaccination field trials. Her passion for eradicating bovine TB is clear\, and Lindsay is an active member of the TB Partnership\, a stakeholder group that contributes to setting strategic direction for the government’s bTB eradication programme\, co-designing new policies and communications. \nThe success of this trial project area has led to approval for the rolling out of this programme more widely. This year (2026) areas of Shropshire\, Worcestershire and Oxfordshire will be vaccinated as part of the new Badger Vaccination Field Force project\,  whilst the successful VESBA project in East Sussex will continue for a sixth year. \nKeeping our alpacas safe from TB by various biosecurity measures which we can all take\, is a first step. \nLindsay will talk about: \nHow the VESBA project came about.\nWhat the programme and its history is.\nWhat it involves.\nBiosecurity measures we can all take.\nHow the programme can help us too\, both individually and at a Society Level.\nOptions for getting involved. \nThis event will be Free for current SEAG members\, non-members £5.
