Abstract
This Order is made under the Medicines Act 1968 and applies to all of the United Kingdom. It exempts specified government officers and other persons (such as contractors and volunteers and their employees) from the general restrictions of the Medicines Act 1968 as to the supply of pharmacy only and prescription only medicines. The exemption applies only when they supply foot-and-mouth vaccine as part of the government's response to an outbreak in the United Kingdom of foot-and-mouth disease, or to the risk of an outbreak occurring in the United Kingdom in the circumstances envisaged by Article 50.1(b) of Council Directive 2003/85/EC, which covers risk of the disease spreading to the United Kingdom from another Member State owing to its geographical situation or the prevailing meteorological conditions. The exemption also applies in the same limited circumstances to lay vaccinators, that is, persons covered by the Veterinary Surgery (Vaccination against Foot-and-Mouth Disease) Order 2004.
