My vet, who I won't name, says she's undecided about the vaccine, and won't be getting it in in the forseeable future. She says that she is always reluctant to use stuff that has only been tested by the manufacturer. They are trying to sell a product, and although they have to declare side-effects etc, they can also decide something is minor when to an owner or to a bun it could be unacceptable. She said that they claim the myxo part gives cover for a year, but this has only been tried in a lab, not out in the field, and as such she wouldn't trust that aspect of it. She says that it's a no-brainer that it will obviously be worse to give anyone more than one vacc at once, to expose the immune system to more than on thing at once. She also says she would rather see bunnies the three times a year necessitated by the current scheme of things, rather than the once a year that the single vaccine would mean.
I'm not trying to start a debate, I know there are people on both sides, just wanted to share what she said, as she seems to genuinely care about bunnies (and bunny owners!)
