Yes, if you live in a region where myxomatosis is a threat (like the UK), you can bring your rabbit to the vet for an injection. You'll have to bring the rabbit back every 6-12 months for "booster" shots.

What should you do if your rabbit has myxomatosis?

Rabbits get myxomatosis from being bitten by an insect that carries the virus (like mosquitos, or fleas). Rabbits can also get myxomatosis from other rabbits that are infected, or from coming into contact with that rabbit's stuff (like dishes and fabrics). If you havn't given your rabbit a myxomatosis jab it could get myxomatosis. If you live in a region where myxomatosis is present (like the UK), experts recommend your rabbit getting an injection. If you need to get an injection, or aren't sure if you do, talk to your vet. See the related question below for more info about rabbit vets.

Can you reuse a rabbit cage after the rabbits have died of myxomatosis?

There shouldn't be a problem with reusing the cage because any future rabbits that go in the cage should be vaccinated against myxomatosis. All pet rabbits who live in areas where there's myxomatosis should be vaccinated. The vaccine is the only way to protect your rabbit against myxomatosis. Myxomatosis is spread by mosquitos and fleas: there's really no way to keep these away from your rabbit (even netting and screens aren't very effective).
