Veterinary clinics offering RHDV2 vaccines

The following table is compiled from data on the Rabbitor.info US RHDV2 vaccination resources page. Please see the direct link for the most up-to-date information.

See Rabbit hemorrhagic disease for more information on the fatal disease. There is no treatment or cure for RHD. Most cleaners are ineffective at killing the virus. As a result, it is highly recommended to vaccinate your rabbit for their safety if a veterinary clinic nearby offers the service.

This information is provided only for your convenience and in no way should be considered an endorsement by the website. The following table has been compiled from reliable resources that have indicated that the listed clinics will vaccinate rabbits.
