Rabbits can be vaccinated from 5 weeks of age and we use a combined vaccine which protects your rabbits from myxomatosis and viral haemorrhagic disease (VMD). A single vaccine provides 12 months protection. Both of these diseases can be fatal so we highly recommend vaccinating your rabbit.
We recommend that rabbits are vaccinated against myxomatosis and viral haemorrhagic disease (VHD).
Previously this would have been administered through two separate injections, however our new rabbit vaccine means that your pet can be protected against myxomatosis and both strains of VHD with just a single injection.
