Badger bovine TB vaccinations resume but cull numbers still set to rise

Charities have obtained supplies of the vaccine following a shortage last year but the government's vaccination programme won't resume until 2018

Wildlife charities have resumed vaccinating badgers against bovine TB after a global shortage of the vaccine caused it to be suspended last year.

But more badgers than ever before are set to be culled this summer as Wales follows England in introducing a targeted cull in a bid to reduce bovine TB.
