We are currently running test with the new Pharmaq live vaccine and will start in Q3 a benchmark trial at the R&D Center in Colaco, to test the new custom made vaccine with other SRS vaccines available in Chile. Still, it is too early to tell if these vaccines are successful as the large fish is most at risk of SRS.
