  • There's all this covid vaccine news, and, um, this is one of the latest stories that got a lot of attention here.

  • Recently, nine great apes were vaccinated against covid at the San Diego Zoo.

  • Yeah, now these covid vaccinated animals got a lot of attention, and that's led to this new message from the California Department of Public Health.

  • Take a look.

  • It's also been revealed that several of the guerrillas cut in line at the Flamingo Oasis vaccination site, while two other primates received shots after donating their feces to Florida Governor Romney Santos's campaign fund.

  • Rest assured, the California Department of Public Health is working hard to eliminate these inequities so that all animals can receive protection from Covid.

  • Until then, continue to mask up and blah, blah, blah.
