There was a twitter thread I didn’t save that said:
1. we have vaccines for cat and dog CVs
2. Human CVs are unrewarding to vaccinate against because they only cause 30% of colds, so you can only advertise a reduction, not total prevention, of colds.
Same virus family. Different pathogenesis and shouldn’t be directly compared but more for information:
There are vaccines for coronavirus for dogs and cats. They are not commonly used for multiple reasons.
The main species that get vaccinated are cattle.
Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is an important livestock pathogen with a high prevalence worldwide. The virus causes respiratory disease and diarrhea in calves and winter dysentery in adult cattle.

Bovine coronavirus disease info.
Vaccine methods:
pregnant cows (to create antibodies to pass immunity to calves via colostrum) info on a product available. (multi-virus vaccine)
intranasal (IN) vaccination of calves with a modified live BCoV
(It’s been years since I’ve worked with cattle but don’t think the situation has changed)
