The EU, Argentina, South Korea, and Japan have expressed interest in the Carnivak-Cov vaccine, according to the agency.While experts claim there is little indication that animals play a substantial role in the disease’s transmission to people, illnesses have been verified in a variety of animals around the world.Dogs, cats, monkeys, and mink are among them.The protection period following a Carnivak-Covid Jab is anticipated to be six months.
According to the RIA news agency, Julia Melano, the adviser to the chairman of Rosselkhoznadzor, clinics are noticing an increase in vaccination requests from “breeders, pet-owners who travel regularly, and also people whose animals roam freely.”Zoetis, a veterinary pharmaceutical company based in the United States, is working on another vaccine.

Mink, which are semi-aquatic creatures bred for their fur, have had a significant problem with Covid-19. Infections have been observed in farmed mink in a number of countries, with some animals becoming seriously ill or dying as a result.
The greatest mink outbreak occurred in Denmark, which resulted in the culling of millions of animals and the entire shutdown of the business until 2022.There’s also evidence that mink have modified the virus and transferred it on to people.
