That is a perfect way to deal with dangerous diseases in wild animals. Do the vaccinations work, do you know?
That is precisely the method which should be used with Britain's Badgers, if farmers are so concerned about them spreading TB! (which has not been proved to originate in Badgers anyway) It wouldn't do any harm to vaccinate them that way -if it is possible, at least to prevent spread.
That would be a better solution than killing them!
