All animals, big or small, farm animals, house pets, and wild animals, need shots. Its good to go in every month or so and see your vet for a daily check up. Also, don't hesitate to go in to your vet if your rabbit is sick or needs some shot. That's what shots are for. Shots help prevent you from getting sick, they prevent diseases.

How do you avoid myxomatosis?
There is vaccine available against myxomatosis, this can be given from 6 weeks of age and a booster vaccine should be given every 6 months to a year (depending on how common the disease is where you live). In the UK a combined vaccine containing myxomatosis and viral haemorrhagic disease has just been launched. Both of these diseases are usually fatal to rabbits and so vaccination is highly recommended. It is even recommended that indoor rabbits are vaccinated as both of these diseases are spread by flies and fleas (which obviously can bite indoor rabbits as well as outdoor ones).
