  A report was received yesterday from a small rescue shelter in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, that two rabbits have died within four days. One has tested positive for VHD
  
  VHD is a swift and efficient killer VHD vaccines are incredibly effective, so please check and ensure that your pet rabbits have been vaccinated. Rabbits can be protected with a single injection anytime from 10-12 weeks of age, then a booster every twelve month.
  
  Vaccinations against myxomatosis are equally as important and can be given from 6 weeks of age. Boosters are needed every six months.
