Quote [edited English]: "Monkeys have been vaccinated because they
were considered as pets. They live in houses in contact with humans
and dogs. After considering the risk of being a source of infection of
certain human cases in Luanda, the decision was to vaccinate this
species as well."

[We requested clarification on monkey vaccination against rabies by
Angola and got this information, which in my opinion makes sense. -

[I thank Karim for going to the trouble to clarify this question.
Because "trapping" was mentioned, this moderator mistakenly thought
the monkeys involved were wild. - Mod.JW]
