Robstick has happened upon some interesting information on the vaccination projects
The government is committed to spending £6.6m on bovine tuberculosis vaccination research and £614,000 on the Badger Vaccine Deployment Project this year. As the cost of the cull is £2,830 per badger, that £614K is the equivalent of culling just 219 badgers.
Next year it decreases to £418,000, equivalent to around 147 culled badgers.
Hopefully the vaccination will work well enough to divert funds from culling into vaccination projects.

Thanks for your comments. I would really rather not have anonymous comments, please give a name even if it is made up.
Please try to keep it reasonably polite, it's mainly a blog for grown ups but good manners are always welcome.
Thanks again
