CHILE PROBES ‘DOG JAB TO HUMANS’ MESS

SANTIAGO: Two veterinarians in Chile are under investigation for allegedly giving dog coronavirus vaccines to at least 75 people in the months before human jabs arrived in the country, health officials said on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila). The pair stand accused of having administered vaccines developed against canine coronavirus, which is not the same as the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the global human pandemic to people in the city of Calama in Chile’s north. Questions first arose last September when visiting health officials noted workers at a veterinary clinic in Calama operating without masks.
