It's not just people who can get their COVID-19 shots. It's animals too -- big cats, badgers, even bats are susceptible to coronavirus, explains Gary Hartlage, the lead zookeeper at Henry Vilas Zoo. The Zoetis vaccine is free. Zoetis donated them to all of the AZA zoos participating in this vaccine program. There were over 40 other institutions that received vaccines. Henry Vilas Zoo began administering the vaccines in October to susceptible species. This includes badgers, marmosets, gibbons, otters, lions, tiger, orangutans and all other primates.
