What are 'evidence gaps'?

'Evidence gaps' mean there isn't enough clear information to prove if something is working or not. For the Welsh badger vaccination programme, researchers are questioning how many badgers are being vaccinated and if it's actually reducing bovine TB in cattle. Filling these gaps is crucial for making good decisions about future disease control.
