Russia's federal veterinary watchdog, Rosselkhoznadzor, said it detected live Aujeszky's disease (pseudorabies) virus in samples from batch No. 20 of the Multikan-8 vaccine, according to TASS. The finding follows reports of mass deaths among dogs linked to the vaccine batch. The watchdog's discovery raises questions about vaccine safety oversight in Russia, though the incident is unrelated to the war in Ukraine and reflects a domestic public health and regulatory matter.
