Get your rabbit vaccinated at HRS!

Bring your rabbit to House Rabbit Society for their annual vaccine! We offer a monthly RHDV2 vaccination clinic at our facility in Richmond, California, at 148 Broadway. Schedule an appointment now. (Please be sure to sign the waiver as well as schedule an appointment.)

We use Medgene Lab’s RHDV2 vaccine. This is a 2-shot vaccine series comprised of the initial vaccination and a booster vaccination 21 days later. BOTH shots are required for vaccine efficacy. Full efficacy for this vaccine is 14 days after the second shot. For rabbits who previously received the Medgene vaccine, and whose coverage hasn’t lapsed, they only need a single booster shot. The cost is $50 for the 2-dose series, and $30 for the annual booster.

As of August 1st, 2024, RHDV2 has been confirmed in 29 states with cases involving domestic, feral, and wild rabbits and hares. Additional cases have recently been detected in Ontario and Alberta, Canada.

Even indoor-only rabbits are at risk of RHDV2, since the virus can be transferred to them by people (on their shoes and clothes), other animals (including dogs and cats, especially if they go outside), and even insects. The most important thing you can do to protect your rabbit is to get them vaccinated, in states the vaccine is available.
