It looks like this thread is missing some relevant bits of information and a few links. :)
First and foremost, from pan american vet labs page:
Clinical trials have shown BunnyVac to be effective in preventing death and limiting disease due to Pasteurella in rabbits

There is no absolutely no assurance that vaccinated rabbits cannot still be asymptomatic carriers.

Rabbits would need vaccinated (at least) yearly, and that it contains the mercury based preservative thimerosol.
This page had a good writeup on it, including more comments from Bob Glass at the bottom.

I was reading what Mr.Bob had on his BunnyVac site and I'm very interested. I don't want to lose any rabbits but I think I'd rather not lose my whole herd to this if it's preventable. Now I have a question. Is there any way you could show us the reviews. The good and the bad. I want to read what people have personally said. Also anyone on here who has tried it please tell us your experience!
 
Buttons - I vaccinated the Harlequins I used to have. I did not experience any of the possible side effects and none of my rabbits showed symptoms. There is a Facebook page for the vaccine that has plenty of reviews and Q&A. https://www.facebook.com/bunnyvac/
 
Few things I was wondering.

1. What does it look like when they have an allergic reaction and if mine has one what do I do?

2. How long is it good before expiring *I don't want to buy too much and it go bad.*
 
Not sure about allergic reactions, but the main side effects I have heard of are a bump and/or hair loss at injection site. A friend of mine who has Harlequins said one of her's had a bump after being vaccinated, but it went away.

I don't have the vials anymore, but I am fairly sure they suggest not storing the vaccine once you have begun to use it. I'm not sure why that is if it deactivates after a time or what - the FB page may address the reasoning.

Giving the vaccine is very easy. I have no complaints. :)
