, but there are animal coronavirus vaccines in veterinary medicine, so it's probably doable.


which species of animals and which family of corona viruses? is it peptide/protein or RNA based? I agree, that is promising and really interesting.

There are a couple of them for dogs for and one for cats for GI infection that are marketed, but it looks like there are more including inactivate virus, attenuated virus, S-protein-based, vector vaccines, and combos of these at various levels of development. Maintaining a robust/long-term respiratory mucusal immunity is a challenge that seems like would be one challenge to overcome. I'm no immunologist, but I think gut immunity in those animal vaccines is somewhat easier.
