Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

Hi there
Onset of immunity is three weeks
Is this a booster, to a fresh new vaccine for Charlie?

I agree with you, as Filavac protects against RHD1 and RHD2
Then it is the full three weeks .... Long time to wait Charlie x

The Filavac Vaccine covers both RHD1 and RHD2 and the onset of immunity is established after 7 days. Full details available here :

If Charlie had the Eravac RHD2 Vaccine, not the Filavac -Eravac covers for just RHD2. Onset of immunity is established in 7 days. Full details available here :

Do check whether Charlie had the Filavac or the Eravac. As you will have seen from the products data sheets Filivac has a 12 months duration of immunity but Eravac only has a 9 month duration of immunity.

Yes I checked at the time and also checked batch numbers as I know some feliavac might have been recalled. So three weeks for protection from mixi. Thanks so much

In fact the Filavac that was supposedly recalled never entered the chain for clients.

This recall was issued after FILAVIE informed the VMD about an incident during transportation leading to incorrect storage requirements of a specific shipment of FILAVAC VHD K C+V. This problem being identified BEFORE the affected products were delivered to UK wholesalers. The defective products were sent back to FILAVIE and destroyed.
Yes, three weeks for myxi immunity, as I mentioned in my first post

Indeed, I was speaking with a couple of Vets who did actually receive some of the compromised batch and so had to send them back. That led to them temporarily having to reserve vaccine stock for Rabbits considered to be at very high risk. One Vet was based in Yorkshire, the other in London.
