**Is your horse competing at FEI level?**

From the 3rd February 2025 (Monday this week), The FEI have introduced new requirements for the recording of influenza vaccinations.

At the time of vaccination, your veterinarian must record the details on the FEI HorseApp.
(This applies to ALL FEI registered horses.)

To ensure that we comply with requirements, and to make the vaccination process for FEI registered horses as straightforward as possible, please be prepared to:

- Provide a copy of the horse's passport at the time of vaccination. This may need to be photographed.

- Allow time for a full clinical examination, this will require removal of the horse's rugs and access to scan the microchip.

- If you are the groom, owner or trainer, please enter all previous vaccinations onto the HorseApp prior to your vaccination appointment, this will help to save a considerable amount of time!
