Policy Statements

Vaccinations at the time of neutering

You should always discuss the circumstances of your individual pet with your own vet, who will be able to give you individual advice.

The RWA&F policy statement on this is as follows:
Vaccinations are recommended as soon as possible after 5 weeks old. Vaccinations should not be given at the same time as neutering as that leaves a window of risk when the rabbits aren’t protected. Carrying out vaccinations at the same time as neutering also carries risks, both to the rabbit’s health and to the efficacy of the vaccine.
