When the FAO tried to achieve herd immunity, many problems came up. The vaccine needed to be very refrigerated before use. Locals didn't think it was safe, it was hot, the cattle were refusing to it and didn't like the strange smells of the vaccinators.

The FAO fixed these problems by letting the locals do it. The FAO even said “We’d be lucky to get 20 percent immunity in a herd; our local guys could get 90, 95 percent.” Plus a new variant of the vaccine allowed it to be in the heat and not refrigerated for a month. This made it easier for them to be transported across the Serengeti and other African regions.
