However, it first had to clean up the 931 empty viles of the Equine Influenza vaccine to be packaged and sent back to Orange for disposal.

Holly Sherwood from the Mudgee LVCC, and Amy Flemming from the Orange Department of Primary Industries (DPI), have had the important job of gathering up, and correctly packaging the used viles in accordance with the imposed bio-security measures.

"It has been four weeks since the first lot, so now we will be contacting land owners so we can carry out phase two of the vaccination process," operations manager at the Mudgee LVCC, Richard Plummer said.

The lengthy task of delivering the first EI vaccine in the Mudgee buffer zone went without any dramas and saw the LVCC having cooperation of local landowners.

"It was the best to be expected considering the circumstances,” Mr Plummer said.

"We had great cooperation from local landowners in the Mudgee buffer zone and hopefully it will continue in the future.

“I look forward to contacting them again, this process takes time and everyone has been really patient" he said.

NSW DPI will contact horse owners to arrange a day and time for second doses. The second dose is expected to be much quicker to deliver as it is known where horseowners live and there is no need for swabs, blood tests and microchipping.
