Health authorities in Chile have fined two veterinarians who were found giving canine vaccines as false protection against Covid-19.
Health authorities in northern Chile have fined two veterinarians they say were giving or promoting canine vaccines as false protection against Covid-19. Roxana Díaz, deputy health secretary for Antofagasta province, said her agency’s workers had gone to the veterinary practice of Maria Fernanda Muñoz in the city of Calama over a report that people there weren’t using masks and were told it was because they were vaccinated. In an interview Tuesday with the government’s 24 Horas television channel, Muñoz acknowledged giving herself and several people in her office a vaccine aimed at canine coronavirus, and argued she hadn’t become ill. That occurred last year, before any COVID vaccines had been approved in Chile.More Related News
