3-in-1 vaccination

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else, but I read that there will be a new 3-in-1 vaccination available in the U.K. in the next few weeks, to cover myxomatosis, VHD and RHD2, given once a year. Has anyone else heard anything?

I asked my vets a few weeks ago and they said they didn't expect it would be available in the UK until at least autumn. (I have had the two vaccinations done as a result!) I had read that mainland Europe were getting it in spring.
 
That’s a shame. Maybe the person got confused with when it’s available in Europe. Good to know there’s one coming though

I can't guarantee the information I got was correct, it was "I don't know but I'm going to find out because if you have asked then other people will be asking", so it might suddenly appear unexpectedly.

U/D -Just spoken with MSD Animal Health and they informed me that the Vaccine will be available for Vets to order from the beginning of May 2020, ie Friday of this week :D

Ah! Atticus and Clementine are due their mixi and rhd1 vac end of May - but they don't have rhd2 vac til Xmas.. So end of May if my Vet has it, could I just get the new combined 3 in 1 vac? Or would that be too much rhd2 too soon? (you can have that every 6 months so should be okay?)

I would check with the Vet but I think it would be OK :)
 
Thanks for asking this question and Jane for the new information as I had 7 rabbits booked in for Filavac on Monday. Now I know about the new vaccine I might be able to swap 3 of them for the new vaccine as due myxomatosis vaccine in next few months (the other four have had it in the last couple of months).
 
thanks for the vacc update JJ

Will do. The person who answered the phone (I think Lauren) said they would "ask Lise (re ordering) and phone me back".
 
That’s great that it should be available soon. I’m hoping to get some little bunny friends again sometime soon, which was why I was interested. Life isn’t the same with no furry friends!

Yea I'll definitely ask, it's just bad timing I might not get to speak to or ask my normal vet etc plus it's literally a couple days before my due date, terrifying to think I could have already had the baby then tho... Taking buns and the baby to the vets seems like a ridiculous task [emoji38] too many different carriers!

They won't be ordering any until they have used up their current stock of vaccines. Fair enough, I guess, as having thought it through, 7 Filavacs have been reserved for me for about six weeks now, I was taking the pee expecting the new vaccine. The timing is unfortunate though.

Obviously, in your case, you want to know how soon they will run out of Nobivac rather than Filavac, so that may be sooner.

Thanks. Don't think I'll chance waiting for them to run out, could take ages I guess, especially if not everyone knows vets are doing vaccs now
