Press release
Simplified licence will cut the administrative burden for those wishing to vaccinate badgers – allowing more badgers to be vaccinated ![]() A new and simplified licence for vaccinating badgers has been rolled out today, as part of government plans to step up efforts to eradicate bovine TB in England by 2038. The new licence to trap badgers for vaccination enables those trained to undertake this activity to register as an ‘authorised person’. This means applicants will no longer need to apply for an individual licence, provide extensive information in support of that application and wait up to 30 working days for a decision. In 2021, 1,575 badgers were vaccinated across England, and it is hoped that the new licence – alongside a new subsidy cutting the cost of the Badger BCG vaccine by almost half – will facilitate and encourage more farmers, landowners, and vaccination groups to get involved in these projects. This includes a five-year programme in East Sussex, which was awarded £2.27 million last year to support farmers deploying vaccines over an area of 250 square kilometres. This new process will boost vaccination efforts by making it administratively simpler for those wishing and are trained to undertake vaccination projects across England. Biosecurity Minister Lord Benyon said:
Natural England will continue to undertake visits to check that vaccination projects are complying with the conditions of the licence and follow the best practice guide. Today’s announcement forms part of the Government’s long-term strategy to eradicate bovine TB in England by 2038, which outlined plans to bring in badger and cattle vaccination alongside other measures. The licence has been published online and those interested can register now. They will need to provide information about their training experience and can expect a decision within just 48 hours. If successful, they will be able to start vaccinating badgers on land where they have the landowner’s permission to do so straightaway and can report their activity in real-time through a new smartphone app, developed by the Worldwide Veterinary Service.
