Cheyenne Mountain Zoo holding off on giving animals COVID-19 vaccine
COLORADO SPRINGS (KRDO)-- Despite the Denver Zoo and the Oakland Zoo announcing they will now give some animals the COVID-19 vaccine, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo says they are holding off for the time being.
"For now, we’re not vaccinating them because our animal experts don’t think we need to at this point," said Cheyenne Mountain Zoo spokesperson Rachel Wright. "Our animal care team is watching this closely, and if evidence proves otherwise as time goes on, we’ll vaccinate the individuals who we think need to be vaccinated."
