WAIVER FOR RABBIT HEMORRHAGIC DISEASE (RHD) VACCINATION
I have elected to have my rabbit(s) administered the Medgene Labs RHDV-2 vaccine to protect against Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus Serotype 2 (RHDV2) and a microchip, if one is not present in the rabbit.
{rabbit1} {rabbit180} {rabbit181} {rabbit178}
{rabbit2} {rabbit294} {rabbit295} {rabbit296}
{rabbit3} {rabbit3100} {rabbit3101} {rabbit3102}
{rabbit4} {rabbit4106} {rabbit4107} {rabbit4108}
I understand the following:
1. Medgene Labs has received conditional use authorization from the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).
2. This vaccine does not guarantee full protection against the disease, rabbit hemorrhagic disease.
3. For best efficacy, it is recommended that rabbits over 1 month of age receive the vaccine and then are given a booster vaccine in 3 weeks. Please note further studies are needed to determine how often the vaccine will need to be administered after its initial series. We expect this will be every 12 months, as with the European vaccine.
4. The Medgene vaccine should be fully protective in 14 days after the second dose is administered.
5. Side effects have been documented in rabbits given the vaccine, including but not limited to: lethargy, fever, digestive upset, nodule or swelling at the vaccination site, and in very rare cases anaphylactic reaction, and death. If my rabbit develops any side effects from the Medgene Labs RHDV-2 vaccine or the vaccination procedure, I do not hold Dr. Meg Frey - Veterinarian or Rabbit Advocates responsible. As the owner of this rabbit, I will assume full responsibility for any treatment costs associated with said side effects.
6. I acknowledge that there may be other, unknown risks and that the long-term effects and risks of this vaccine are not known at this time.
7. The effects of this vaccine on fertility have not been determined and the risk of abortion in pregnant does is undetermined at this time.
8. There is currently no medical data on the interaction of this vaccine with other medical products.
9. I understand my rabbit(s) must have unique identification in the form of a microchip or tattoo to receive the vaccine series at this event. This event will provide the mini-microchip option at an additional cost for rabbits that do not already have a microchip or unique tattoo.
10. I understand that no guarantee or warranty has been made regarding the results that may be achieved. I, the undersigned owner (or agent of the owner) of the pet rabbit identified above, certify that I am eighteen years of age or over and that I authorize the Veterinarian to administer the Medgene Labs RHDV-2 vaccine and for a microchip to be installed if needed. I have read and fully understand the terms and conditions set forth above.
