Key Information:
Rabbits need to be vaccinated every 9-12 months to protect against Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus Type 2 (RHDV2) according to all presently-available research.
This event is for Washington residents only.
All rabbits attending this event will receive 2 injections of the Medgene RHDV2 vaccine administered 3 weeks apart. Dose 1 will be administered on 10/5/25. Participants will receive their vaccine certificate at the Dose 2 event on 10/26/25. Maximum protection is achieved 2 weeks after the second dose of the Medgene vaccine is administered.
If your rabbit is not microchipped, microchipping will be required at the first event on 10/5/25 as part of the vaccination process. This is to ensure the same rabbit gets both doses required to complete the series. You will receive information on how to register your unique mini-microchip and chip registration is free. If your rabbit is already microchipped but you do not know the number, there will be universal chip readers available at the event to check.
Rabbit Advocates RHDV2 vaccine events are designed for healthy rabbits at least 7 weeks of age or older who are not pregnant and not nursing. Please do not bring sick, pregnant, and/or infant rabbits to the clinic. Rabbits who are unwell or otherwise ineligible will be turned away for the safety of all participants.
All rabbits must arrive at the clinic in pet carriers. Cardboard boxes, wire cages, baskets, plastic tubs, etc. make it difficult for volunteers to remove the rabbit for microchip scanning and vaccination.
For general questions about the vaccine, please see House Rabbit Society: Medgene RHDV2 Vaccine FAQ or visit the manufacturer's website at Medgene Labs.
For questions about the vaccine and the health of your own personal rabbit(s), please be sure to speak with your veterinarian.
Rabbit Advocates always recommends maintaining excellent biosecurity to protect against RHDV2 infection.
