Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease

RHD Vaccine Information

How many doses is the RHD vaccine?

The vaccine is administered in 2 subcutaneous doses, 21 days apart and (according to preliminary reports) once a year thereafter to maintain the advertised efficacy.

How long after my bunny is vaccinated will the vaccine be effective?

Properly administered, Medgene’s vaccine will be fully effective 35 days after the first dose and 14 days after the second injection. Data on the booster is not yet available. The vaccine’s advertised efficacy requires both shots in the 2 dose regimen.

What are possible side effects to this new recombinant RHDV2 vaccine?

So far, Medgene safety testing studies report only rare instances of swelling at the injection site, which resolve within 48 hours. Other possible side effects are a temporary slight fever and/or lethargy for 1-2 days.
