Unfortunately there is a legal requirement from a lot of countries that any new vaccine released for human use there must be trialed on non-human primates prior to human clinical trials, and that is what many of these monkeys are being used for. The best way to reduce or eliminate the use of primates in biomedical research is to pressure government health agencies to drop this requirement (and other testing requirements involving NHPs).
