Hi Erika,

They don't need itthe USA, but in England and Australia, they do.

The main vaccinations are:
(1) Vaccination against RHD (Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease)
(2) Vaccination against Myxomatosis

There are no rabbit vaccines approved for use inthe US. Myxo is present in the US along the west coast, andwe also have occasional out breaks of VHD (RHD) from imported rabbits.
