No decision on horse flu vaccine for Tas


Talks between Tasmanian racing industry and government representatives have broken up without a decision being made on equine influenza vaccinations.
The state remains free of the disease, but a ban on horses entering the state is due to be lifted on October the 15th.


The Tasmanian Thoroughbred Racing Council says thousands of Victorian horses have been innoculated with a vaccine containing genetically modified material, but such material is prohibited under state laws.


The council's Rohan Mitchell says today's meeting didn't resolve the issue of whether these horses will be allowed into the state for the annual racing carnivals.
