Last month, young male elephants Sanjay & Kabir received a dose of an mRNA vaccine created by virologists at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) to prevent EEHV. The Cincinnati Zoo is the third Zoo to vaccinate elephants against EEHV. Kabir and Sanjay are doing well post-vaccination. The vaccine is too new to have data back on success rates, but vets are cautiously optimistic that it will provide the elephants with the protection they need. Plans also include making this vaccine available to other elephants, both in human care and then in the wild. This vaccine is anticipated to have a significant impact on the global Asian elephant population and lay the foundational work for a similar vaccine for African elephants as well. https://lnkd.in/gpxDbKkd
