The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) identified Taiwan, including Penghu and Matsu, as foot and mouth disease (FMD) free without using vaccination. A FMD outbreak had occurred in the country in 1986. This important milestone of animal epidemic prevention is the result of the joint efforts of the civil society and the government.
