Oxbow Animal Health is partnering with Medgene Labs (Brookings, SD) to donate 2,000 doses of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV-2) vaccine (emergency use authorization) to support rabbit vaccination clinics across the United States.

1. Must reside in a state that has approved distribution of the Medgene RHDV-2 vaccine (emergency use authorization).
2. Must have a veterinarian identified to procure and administer vaccinations.
