Rabbit vaccination recommendations depend on the country, local disease risk, available vaccines, the rabbit's age and previous vaccination history. In the UK, rabbits are routinely protected against myxomatosis, rabbit viral haemorrhagic disease type 1 (RVHD1) and rabbit viral haemorrhagic disease type 2 (RVHD2). Current UK rabbit-welfare guidance also recommends additional protection against newly recognised highly virulent RVHD2 strains using an additional vaccine alongside the established combined vaccine. Indoor rabbits still need veterinary vaccination advice because these diseases can spread indirectly through insects, contaminated objects, clothing, shoes and contact with infected rabbits or environments.
