At least 75 people have been administered dog coronavirus vaccines by two veterinary surgeons in Chile in the months before human jabs arrived in the country.
The veterinary surgeons have been investigated for allegedly giving canine vaccines to at least 75 people including health workers and miners in Calama city of Chile.
According to South China Morning Post, the vaccines were not the same as the Sars-CoV-2 virus responsible for the global human pandemic.
The investigation was reportedly opened after the health officials found workers at a veterinary clinic in Calama operating without masks last September. After questioning the workers, they claimed they had been vaccinated by a local vet.
It must be noted here that the first batch of Covid-19 vaccines had arrived in Chile months later, in December.
