Sixteen Chilean flamingos, Phoenicopterus chiles, and 10 red-tailed hawks, Buteo jamacensis, were vaccinated in the pectoral muscle with 0.2 ml of a commercially produced killed West Nile virus vaccine intended for use in horses.

Three weeks after the booster vaccination, none of 13 birds surveyed had detectable antibody to West Nile virus.
