Combi vaccine and previous vaccination history

[yaretzi]

I knew there was a problem previously with bunnies who'd been vaccinated with myxo and VHD seperately not necessarily building up a full immune response when switched onto the combi vaccine. I thought I'd read that this was no longer a problem.

Went to the vets today with the intention of getting their single VHD's and I'd forgotten the vaccination cards. So we ended up doing the combined vaccine now instead of when we planned in 6 months.

Is the above issue still up in the air? Or do we have confirmation either way?

I did check for answers first but I couldn't find a definitive answer and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's a bit unsure.

The NOAH compendium still has the following warning:

Rabbits that have been vaccinated previously with another myxomatosis vaccine, or that have experienced natural myxomatosis infection in the field, may not develop a proper immune response against rabbit haemorrhagic disease following vaccination.

As far as i am aware there is now only an issue with bunnies that have previously had the myxi illness and survived. In which case the first time they have the new dual vaccination they will need a second one two weeks later :wave:

Fab, thanks! I knew I'd read somewhere that it should be okay. Neither of mine have had myxo so hopefully they should be fine !
