There are a lot of concerns on here regarding a potential lack of efficacy of the new vaccine. If you have a vaccinated rabbit, that has contracted myxi and you and your vet have a real concern regarding the efficacy of the new vaccine (remembering that a rabbit can still get myxi if vaccinated, but should have much milder symptoms) please can I encourage you or your vet to report this to VMD in addition to the manufacturer. VMD are the government department responsible for veterinary medicines in the UK and there is a reporting scheme that they run in the same way MHRA run the yellow card system for human medicines. This also ensures that VMD have the information and will ensure that MSD Animal Health are appropriately logging reports that come in to them and fulfilling their obligations regarding the pharmacovigilance (the ongoing safety and efficacy) of their products.
A leaflet about the reporting system is here:
