Here are the top stories today in Cincinnati: The COVID-19 vaccine deadline has arrived for Cincinnati city workers and many local hospital employees, but at least one local union, law enforcement, is not concerned. FOP president Dan Hils said he believes between 30 and 50 percent of the police force is not vaccinated, but that officers are complying with the COVID-19 testing option available. Hils said part of the problem with the mandate is having people track vaccination status, testing, and verifying that it's all being done properly. (WLWT 5)The Cincinnati Zoo said 80 of its animals have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine designed for veterinary use. In a news release, the zoo said that it has been vaccinating big cats, great apes, red pandas, goats, giraffes, river otters, skunks, bearcats, and some domestic dogs and cats. The zoo said that technicians and handlers worked for weeks to get the animals "comfortable with everything that they would see and feel when they got the injections" and that most were administered without anesthesia.
