"C.A.F.E. also recommends widespread adoption of a proof of vaccination policy throughout Canada, which will ensure that the fairs and exhibition sector has taken all reasonable steps for the public to safely interact with livestock."

Econiche will be manufactured in the Bioniche production facility in Belleville, Ontario, where a $25-million expansion is taking place, supported by the Ontario and Canadian governments. Vaccine supply will be limited during this manufacturing expansion period.

About E. coli O157:H7

An estimated 100,000 cases of human infection with the E. coli O157:H7 organism are reported each year in North America.

In addition to being infected by contaminated food or water, individuals can become infected from E. coli O157:H7 by visiting animal exhibits. Petting zoos, fairs, and agricultural exhibits provide many possible routes of transmission for E. coli. Direct animal contact is the obvious route, but contact with contaminated products (e.g., sawdust, shavings, soiled clothing or shoes) can also lead to human infection.
