That tells me the opposite - that they haven't brought it out yet, because the new combined jab doesn't need a 6 month booster. I would read that as the annual myxo and VHD (2 jabs, 2 weeks apart) are £35, and the 6 monthly myxo booster is £15.
As far as I am aware, although the original planned launch date was "March", no particular date in March was specified and they still seem to be doing some final testing to establish its effectiveness in UK bunnies who have previously been vaccinated with different products. I don't think it has been launched in the UK quite yet

Me too as many vets do charge for both vaccs at the same time. As far as I know the combined vaccination will cost the same as a single vaccination so for most or us shouldn't cost £35

My vet said to me today it'd be the end of this month, they've already been trying to get rid of the old jabs fast to get ready for it. I asked him the price and he said he had no idea and they'd have to wait until they got it to set a fair price.

May be incorrect, because from what ive read you need 1 jab every 12 months, and 1 jab every 6 months.. so £35 for yearly Vaccs and £17 for the 6month booster sounds about right.

Not with the new combined one which is due out soon - the trials for the new one have been shown to provide 12 months protection for both myxomatosis and VHD so just one jab every year. But there are still questions over exactly whether/how it will work in UK bunnies who have been vaccinated with different products previously...we're all waiting with bated breath for the outcome of that discussion!
Harvey had his Myxo injection on Monday and i asked about this new jab, my vet said at the moment they have no plans to change over and will still be keeping them seperate, unless someone actually requested to have the all in one then they will order it in but at the moment there are no plans to use this all in one jab.

Deleted, posted in error, sorry
I don't know if my vet uses this yet but I hope he does. With eleven buns it would make life a lot easier. He did come out to me anyway but at the moment their vaccinations aren't co-ordinated as I've been having them done as and when they go in for other things so as to try and spread the cost a bit.
I wouldn't let Dylan have VHD so I hope I can still get the myxi separate.

Just asked my vets re when it's available and they haven't heard yet. :? It's looking less likely to be March then.
It must be driving vet practices mad as they want to buy in loads of myxi vaccinations for the seasonal uptake but they won't want to buy in the single vaccine if there is a big demand for the combined vaccine, which may become available at any time.

My vet hasn't bought it in yet because he still has questions regarding it. A lot of other local vets ask him about this sort of stuff so they are probably doing the same. It's a bit of a waiting game at the moment.
Why is that?

Same reason Ginger isn't VHD vacc'd, illness and in Dylan's case, old age i believe, but i'll let her answer that for sure
