More recently, Feigel has considered the quantum vacuum contribution to the momentum of electromagnetic media. However, in Feigel's treatment he did not take into account the relativistic transformation of the optical constants (electric permittivity and magnetic permeability) of moving media. Here it is shown that the effect arising from such a transformation will also provide a quantum vacuum contribution to the velocity of media, in addition to the one derived by Feigel himself.
