Development plans

Wikipedia could use separate articles for

animal vaccine and animal vaccination

.

I think the main reason why this content is not already in Wikipedia is because most of the available knowledge is in veterinary medicine textbooks, which are inaccessible except through paper books. Wikipedia editors have the easiest time starting with online text.

There could be separate categories for these also. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:04, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Animals in medical research

Animals are

model organisms through animal testing to do drug development

to create vaccines for humans.

Most animals which get a vaccine get one for the purpose of finding a vaccine for a human condition. We do not currently have a Wikipedia article for this concept. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:10, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
