Pets may need to be vaccinated too?

Pets may have need to be vaccinated against the coronavirus as well, to prevent the continued spread of the virus, according to experts, The Guardian writes.

Experts from University of East Anglia, Earlham Institute and the University of Minnesota say they have found evidence that transmission of the virus from pet to humans “poses a significant long-term risk to public health”, the British daily writes.

The Guardian reports that the experts say that it is not unthinkable that vaccination of some domesticated animal species might be necessary to curb the spread of the infection.

A molecular biologist says that the health of our animals and what diseases they have will ultimately impact us, either by wiping out our food sources or by making us sick, the British daily reports.
