Description

On 14 July 1969, Afghan agricultural authorities launched a vaccination drive for livestock. The campaign aimed to reduce outbreaks of diseases that harmed herds essential for rural livelihoods. Veterinary teams traveled to remote villages to administer vaccines. The project helped farmers protect animals used for trade, transport, and food production. The drive became a recurring element of national agricultural policy.
