NEW YORK (AP) -- Two New York State legislators are introducing a bill requiring farmers to vaccinate their chickens against salmonella.
State Sen. Daniel Squadron andAssemblyman Brian Kavanagh introduced the proposal Sunday in front of a Lower East Side supermarket in the wake of a nationwide recall of hundreds of millions of eggs.
The legislators say that vaccinations costing one penny per dozen eggs would nearly eliminate the more than 100,000 salmonella cases each year in the United States.
