This is the first time I've heard of a vaccine for WNV as a possibility for ferrets. The only one I was aware of is for horses. And, those horses being vaccinated now (a series of three, I believe) are not fully protected until next spring, as I understand it.
I personally think that our ferrets could be susceptible to the disease. People are, birds are, horses are. Why not other mammals???
