Ok so Lapinject is better because the onset of immunity is shorter?

Would you use Lapinject in a bunny that's never had it before, even though he reacts with the Cylap (has reacted at the injection site and is poorly with stasis symptoms after jab)? Or is it better to stick with what you know?

Is Lapinject a relatively new vaccine compared to Cyclap?
I notice that there is a long list of side effects under the Cycalp info but none under the Lapinject. I just wondered if it was because Lapinject hasn't been available as long as the Cyclap?
I also wondered why people choose one vaccine over another?
Is there anything that can be done prior to or after the jab to reduce any unwanted side effects. One members vet suggested administering an anti inflammatory at the same time. I wondered what benefit this would have.

differences
I cannot comment on whether one is better over ther other but there are three differences I do know of.
A 5 dose vial of lapinject is the same price as a 1 dose cylap so to us its 5 x cheaper! and Lapinject is able to be administered from 5 wks whereas cylap is from 10 weeks .The lapinject vaccination is also half the physical qhantity which when you are vaccinating a small bun does seem relavant.
As for reactions I cannot comment other than we have had none from lapinject but we have cylap.......but we have only just started using lapinject in the last few months so perhaps this is an unfair comparison.

My thoughts exactly.... in theory you should be able to have 5 rabbits vacs for the price of one ....for multiple rabbit households/rescue that has to be a good enough reason!
