Vaccinations are intended to protect your kitten from infectious diseases that can cause serious health problems or potentially be fatal. Vaccinations are not a one time thing – they require boosters to ensure that the levels of antibodies are high enough to protect from these diseases.
The timing of vaccinations is crucial; your kitten should be vaccinated at the following ages: 8,12 and 16 weeks. If your new kitten is older than 16 weeks and has been never vaccinated or has had an incomplete kitten vaccination series, then let us know so we can make the appropriate recommendations.
