Joint resolution urging Congress to act on brucellosis vaccines for livestock

Senate Joint Resolution 27 urges the United States Congress to take action regarding livestock brucellosis vaccinations. The resolution highlights the impact of brucellosis on cattle and bison, the lack of affordable treatments, and a current shortage of the only U.S.-produced vaccine. It asks Congress to enact legislation that expands vaccine availability, requires assistance to states for rapid outbreak response, and provides funding for preventative vaccination programs.
