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.

The following table has been compiled from reliable resources that have indicated that the listed clinics will vaccinate rabbits.
