The ROSAT HRI has been used to monitor emission from the Vela Pulsar. Six observations span 2-1/2 years and 3 glitches. The summed data yield a good determination of the pulse shape and X-ray emission from the pulsar is found to be 11% pulsed with one broad and two narrow peaks. One observation occurred 15 days after a large glitch. No change in pulse structure was observed and any change in X-ray luminosity, if present, was less than 3%. Implications for neutron star structure are discussed.
