When do vaccinations start?

Graeme

In cats, we give a course of 2 injections, 3-4 weeks apart, to kittens who are 9 weeks of age or older.

The vaccine protects against cat 'flu, Feline Infectious Enteritis, Feline Leukaemia Virus, and Chlamydia. Annual boosters are needed.

In dogs, we give 2 injections 2-4 weeks apart in pups starting at 6-8 weeks normally, with the second injection given at 10 weeks of age or more.

The vaccine protects against Distemper, Parvovirus, Leptospirosis, Infectious Canine Hepatitis, and Parainfluenza virus. Annual boosters are needed.
