What is rabbit vaccination?

Rabbit vaccination in the UK covers two potentially fatal diseases: myxomatosis and rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD), which includes the newer RHD2 strain. A combined vaccine (Nobivac Myxo-RHD Plus) covers all three in a single annual injection, making vaccination straightforward and cost-effective. Both indoor and outdoor rabbits are at risk and should be vaccinated.

Why do prices vary between vets?

  • Vaccine availability — rabbit vaccines have historically had supply issues, and prices can fluctuate accordingly
  • Inclusion of a health check — many practices include a full examination at the vaccine appointment
  • Practice specialisation in exotic pets — practices with rabbit-savvy staff may charge a premium for their expertise
  • Geographic location — rural practices and city-centre practices price differently due to overhead costs

Frequently asked questions

Do indoor rabbits need vaccinating?

Yes. Myxomatosis is spread by insects (particularly fleas and mosquitoes) that can enter the home, and RHD2 can be carried in on clothing, shoes, or hay. Both diseases are fatal and there is no cure — vaccination is the only protection, regardless of whether your rabbit lives indoors or outdoors.

How often does my rabbit need vaccinating?

The current combined Nobivac Myxo-RHD Plus vaccine requires annual boosting to maintain immunity. Your vet will send a reminder when your rabbit is due. Rabbits can be vaccinated from 5 weeks of age.

What are the signs of myxomatosis and RHD?

Myxomatosis causes swollen eyes, nose, lips, and genitals, with rapid deterioration. RHD1 causes sudden death or seizures, often with no warning signs. RHD2 may cause a slightly slower decline. If you see any of these signs, contact a vet immediately — vaccinated rabbits can still contract these diseases but typically have milder symptoms.

CMA Veterinary Market Investigation Order

Under the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) reforms — with the Order due by September 2026 and price lists phased in through 2027 — UK vet practices will publish prices for this procedure. VetPricelist aggregates these published prices so you can compare them in one place.
