SAN DIEGO (KGTV) The San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park are in the process of vaccinating their animals.
Zoetis, a pharmaceutical veterinarian company, just donated enough doses to vaccinate 180 animals at the Zoo and 90 animals at the Safari Park. Itâs a two-dose vaccine designed for animals and given three weeks apart.
Nadine Lamberski, Chief Conservation and Wildlife Health Officer for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, said this is an important step toward protection for both animals and humans.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) â The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance said staff at the zoo and Safari Park will begin to vaccinate select animals for COVID-19 opportunistically over the next few weeks to months.
Last week, a spokesperson said the zoo received Zoetis recombinant purified spike protein vaccines to be used for animals, but that those vaccinations would take place only when veterinarians have an opportunity to examine the animals. Some of our animals are trained to sit for injections while others are not. We will administer the vaccines as appropriate for each animal. We do not plan to put an animal under anesthesia just to give them the vaccine, the spokesperson said.
