About Us
Fuerste Vaccination Services Corp started in August 2011 with contracts at Cermaq Canada’s Little Bear Bay Hatchery and Mowi Dalrymple and Big Tree Creek Hatcheries.
Training and consultation for and with Fish Health and Hatchery Technicians.
By the end of the season, contracts had been completed with Grieg Seafood at their Gold River Hatchery, additional Cermaq Canada and Mowi sites and with several pharma companies. Almost 8 million doses of vaccine were delivered.
Each subsequent year has seen repeat contracts through all three major aquaculture companies along with an increase in total production numbers. 2018/2019 showed a total of almost 40 million doses administered over an 8 month period.
The demand to increase total production numbers and daily numbers led FVS to the makers of NFT 20&30 to provide a service to the hatcheries in Canada and the US which they were not able to access until now. A Service Agreement has been completed so FVS now can provide Vaccination Machines, Operation, and Repair and Maintenance services providing the best possible solutions to hatcheries.
Our Mission
Our vaccination services provide fish with necessary disease protection to help ensure a healthy and robust life. Our services are able to reduce fish moralities, create a higher quality end-product and reduce production costs.
The Team
Fuerste Vaccination Services Corp is clear in their dedication to the crew and the quality of work they produce.
The core crew members return season after season and assist in training the new recruits, providing constancy in service from the start of the season.
Health & Safety
Fuerste Vaccination Services prides itself on being progressive and diligent in all areas of health and safety. Health and safety is primary in everything we do. This level of Health and Safety awareness is the highest within the local vaccinating industry.
Regular Health and Safety meetings and site inspections take place at each site to ensure potential hazards are communicated to our Crew and mitigated in a timely manner. Reducing injuries and potential injuries is ingrained into the culture of Fuerste Vaccination Services.
Fuerste Vaccination Services has been working in collaboration with its customers to ensure that both our staff groups are protected from the possible transmission of COVID-19 while at work. COVID-19 Safety Plans are in place for each of the hatcheries that we provide services to.
High levels of Biosecurity are enforced, and all crew follow hatchery specific protocols. Equipment is generally not transferred between sites as there are two sets of guns for each site. This minimizes down time if a gun malfunctions, and exceeds standard biosecurity requirements.
