What we know this week.
What the outbreak is costing us.
Active cases and vaccine coverage by province.
Provincial list.
Sorted by confirmed case load. The accent bar at the left shows severity; the bar to the right of the percentage shows vaccine coverage of the provincial cattle herd.

Herd coverage against the two dose protocol.
Herd coverage per province: vaccines received, dose 1 and dose 2 as a share of the cattle herd.
MPO: Dairy herd vaccination and FMD case burden.
Submitted by the Milk Producers’ Organisation (MPO). Covers dairy cattle only.
Dairy cows vaccinated by province: dose 1 and dose 2.
Active dairy FMD farms by province.
Farm status over time.
Weekly count of dairy farms with confirmed and active FMD nationally.
Post-vaccination reinfections.
Farms that reported FMD reinfection after receiving vaccine. Clinical signs in reinfected herds have been significantly less severe than pre-vaccination outbreaks — consistent with vaccine protection moderating disease severity.
Active dairy FMD farms and vaccination progress by province.
RMIS: Industry vaccine distribution.
Tracked by the Red Meat Industry Service (RMIS). Covers the private industry channel, being doses allocated to and distributed by industry across all sectors (feedlot, commercial farms, stud). Complements the state programme doses tracked in the provincial data above. Cumulative from rollout start.

Data notes.
The RMIS industry channel covers vaccine distributed directly to farmers and feedlots through private veterinary practices, separate from state-programme doses administered by provincial veterinary services.

SAPPO: Pig sector vaccine dispatches.
Submitted by the South African Pork Producers' Organisation (SAPPO). Covers Aftodoll (Dollvet) vaccine dispatched by SAPPO representatives to pig producers across South Africa. Some bottles were also used for cattle on the same farms to reduce cross-species FMD risk — the cattle/pig split is not available at dispatch level. Source: email from Dr Thandi Chiappero, SAPPO Head: Consumer Assurance, 3 June 2026.

Updated figures from the Minister of Agriculture and the Industry Coordination Council.
The Foot and Mouth Disease Industry Coordination Council is a task team established by the Minister of Agriculture, so we report Ministerial and ICC updates as a single source.

Upcoming vaccine supply pipeline.
Ministerial briefing vs JOC provincial returns.
Comparing DAFF ministerial figures (4 June 2026) against AgriSA JOC provincial returns (latest available). A positive difference means JOC reports more vaccinations than the ministerial figure — expected given the later date. A negative difference flags a data quality issue for investigation.
Animals vaccinated: ministerial vs JOC per province.
Discrepancy summary.
| Province | Ministerial 4 Jun |
JOC / AgriSA Latest |
Difference | Status |
|---|
Ministerial figures cover all cloven-hoofed animals. JOC returns may be cattle-only in some provinces — explaining part of the gap.
How to order FMD vaccine as a private individual.
We set out the three approved routes to order foot and mouth disease vaccine for your own herd below. All three report vaccination detail back to the National Department of Agriculture, so the route you choose does not affect your compliance standing. Choose the route that matches how your farm and your veterinary relationship are already set up.
Government.
Through your state veterinarian.
Phone your state veterinarian and ask to order vaccine.
Your state veterinarian sends your order to the Department of Agriculture.
