Most places I&#39;ve been at still recommend 6 monthly myxo/yearly VHD.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/69957?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 12 Feb 2010 21:45:38 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:f458a020-c261-44d2-aab2-4f3162a3e23fSandra Taylor RVN, MBVNA<p>From what I remember being told at some lecture on rabbit vaccines, many moons ago..I think just after a big outbreak of myxo, was that the vaccine itself only works for 9 months, so the vaccine companies were kind of caught with their pants down when a lot of pet rabbits who had been initially vaccinated annually caught myxo, so they changed the protocol to every 6 months...... I vaccinate mine every 9 months as per the vaccine life, and she is 10, and will be 11 this year.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/69946?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:52:39 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:6af002ca-4c03-4bec-8bf9-836790e69b04fairydaze<p>We have the same issue where i work just now one of the vets says rabbits need only be vaccinated once a year at the &quot; high Risk &quot; period which thay class as april to october but i always thought it was 6 months i get my own 3 done every six months as loads of wild bunnies always hopping about the place </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/69896?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:32:12 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:e59ac909-c92b-4d91-b264-b9a0419b8a1cKatie Tallett RVN MBVNA<p>thanks guys, thats what i thought. interestingly the person i spoke to at intervet said they had cases of myxi reported right into october last year <img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Sad_smiley.png" alt="Sad" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/69895?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:21:54 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:186bf2ca-7026-407e-ace8-40ac65f06bc6Jenny Cook RVN<p>about 1.5 / 2 years ago, there was alot of myxo around...
