Novibac/Myxo Vaccine shortage

News from RWAF is that the single dose vials may become available again next month. This has come from MSD.

My vet has experienced no shortages but I gather that bookings for booster vax are being put on hold for the time being at a lot of surgeries.

Thanks MM :) Beano was due her booster a couple of weeks ago but the vets rang me a week or so in advance and said they had a shortage and had a vaccination clinic running on a Saturday with the single dose vial so she had it then. Jake has his at our old vets as he has the Vac4Life scheme there so I rang them and he's booked in again on a Saturday for a clinic on 10th June. He was due last week.
 
Ah thanks for posting, my vets have also cancelled and I was wondering how likely it would be to come in before they are due next month. Fingers crossed.

Thanks Liz :)

Regarding the Vac4Life - does it cover the RHD2 Filavac in rabbits, or does that vary from practice to practice?

I don't believe it is, the receptionist was quite sure it wasn't but we can double check when we go.

Thanks so much Liz :) The receptionist I spoke to was sure that it was, but when I rang to further discuss, I found it wasn't a vaccination they even do at that particular branch!
 
Just spoke to my vets4pets down in newbury and they are taking bookings to arrange a clinic day within the next 2 weeks for vaccines. Bailey was done in April, but Bella is due her booster now in June.

Oh no! I got an email a while back to say they stocked it at the Leeds branch (near Harehills, there's quite a few in Leeds). I must admit neither Beano nor Jake have had it yet, Beano has recently been struggling with regular dentals and arthritis in her hips and needs regular bathing/shaving as she has been getting wet and matted so it hasn't been right for her I haven't found but she is doing well so will likely go once two weeks since her Nobivac/Myxo vaccine has passed. Same goes for Jake once he has his booster as well.

Good to hear Ruth. It's a worry, isn't it, when they are due and no vaccine :(
