To give myyxi booster or not????

Hiya as many of u will now I had a dreadful time at the end of last eyar when my boys both got myxi, Honey had nodular myxi, very mild, only ever had 2 small lumps on his nose, but Harly had full blown and was touch and go for a long time (both had been vaccinated). They are due their boosters next month and I'm not sure if they should still get them or not? If they are immune to it now after having it? And if it could make it worse, make them ill again by reintroducing it to their bodies?
 
Floss had nodular myxi last Summer. Her face and body were covered in lumps and her right eye became inflammed and ulcerated. She recovered, though she has been left with a few lesions on her face and has lost about 20% vision in the eye due to the damge caused by the ulceration. Luckily she was fully up to date with her vaccinations otherwise the outcome would have been different. She has had her booster as I don't want to leave anything to chance.The vaccine is made from a harmless virus which produces antibodies in the rabbit which help to protect against the myxi strain, so there is no danger of a rabbit contracting myxi from the vaccine itself.
