As governments across the world scramble to roll out COVID-19 vaccine doses for their people, Russia has registered the world’s first coronavirus vaccine for animals.
Developed by a unit of Russia’s Federal Service for Veterinary Surveillance, the vaccine is called Carnivac-Cov.
According to authorities, it’s so far the world’s first and only product for preventing COVID-19 in animals with over 90 percent efficacy.
Immunity lasts for six months after vaccination, but the shot’s developers continue analysis on the drug.
The research involved dogs, cats, foxes, minks and other animals.
The vaccine will likely go into mass production as early as April.
