Vaccinations for animals:
Saint Louis Zoo vaccinated male chimpanzee, more to be administered
A male chimpanzee at the Saint Louis Zoo was vaccinated Wednesday against COVID.
Jimiyu, 29, got his first dose of Zoetis’ COVID-19 vaccine “which has been authorized for use on animals on a case-by-case, experimental basis,” according to the zoo. The zoo said they do not expect Jimiyu to experience any “adverse side effects.”
The zoo plans to administer the two-dose COVID-19 vaccine in a staged roll-out to almost 100 primates, big cats, river otters, painted dogs and bat-eared foxes, all of which carry a potential risk of being infected by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease.
