.. as to whether it's Filavac or Eravac!
Does it matter? Well yes it does
Have a look at here and do a bit of reading ..

......... and also post 434 by Santa on the same thread.
As to the factor of the cost - I did some research this morning among London vets. Some vets were charging over £70 for one vaccination of VHD2. On further enquiry I found that this was because they were actually offering ERAVAC and not FILAVAC. Eravac is licensed for use in the UK, but has only previously been used for meat rabbits. It hasn't been tested for duration of immunity, and is formulated with mineral oil which wouldn't be good if the operator self-injected and it's also a factor in injection site wounds.
Just be sure you are aware what you're paying for. It could be that if you're paying a lot for your vaccine it's Eravac, because the whole vial has to be destroyed within 24 hours of opening. Filavac are single use vials.
I hope that's clear!
