Spanish term or phrase: biológico
Text is from Ecuador. Does biológico here refer to the vaccine? Can it be translated as vaccine? Or biological product? Thanks.

Se realizó luego una campaña de vacunación en los predios afectados y aledaños.
La aplicación del biológico la realizaron técnicos locales de x.
También se realizó la vacunación a 18 predios aledaños, aplicando el biológico a un total de 2248 animales.

biological product/vaccine
Explanation:
Vacuna es un producto biológico utilizado para obtener una inmunización activa en forma artificial. Se distingue por lo tanto, de la inmunización pasiva, que es la acción de obtener inmunidad mediante la administración de anticuerpos.

Es una práctica adecuada el mantener un termómetro de temperaturas máximas y mínimas dentro del refrigerador para asegurarse del buen funcionamiento del mismo. Por otra parte se recomienda dejar una separación entre las partes del área de refrigeración y las cajas de vacunas, así como entre las cajas de vacunas en sí, para permitir que el aire refrigerado circule entre los biológicos.

The advance payment for supply of above biological products should be made by crossed Demand Draft in favour of Head, B.P. Division, IVRI payable at State Bank of India, CARI Branch, Bareilly (SBI Code No. 7027) or any other Bank at Bareilly, UP.
