Adult cat vaccinations Īn adult cat who has received a primary vaccination course will require the core vaccination every 1-3 years, depending on the duration of immunity provided by the vaccine your veterinarian uses and the cat’s individual circumstances. Please speak to your veterinarian about what vaccinations are right for your kitten or if you are concerned about your kitten’s vaccination being overdue. It is important to follow this schedule to ensure the vaccines are effective. The World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) now recommends that a booster vaccine is given at then given at 6 months of age to ensure that a protective immune response develops in any cat that may not have responded to any of the first three vaccines. The first core vaccination administered to kittens is from 6-8 weeks of age, then every 3–4 weeks until 16–20 weeks of age. Please speak to your veterinarian for the most appropriate advice for your individual cat. Examples of non-core vaccines include those for feline leukaemia virus (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), Chlamydia felis and Bordetella bronchiseptica. This assessment will take into account the geographical location, lifestyle, and risk of exposure to the infection of the individual cat. Non-core vaccines are those that should only be given to cats in specific risk categories based on an individual risk/benefit assessment. This vaccination combination is commonly known as the F3 vaccination. Cats who are vaccinated will either show no signs of illness or are less likely to become seriously ill from specific diseases.Ĭore vaccines are those that all unvaccinated cats and cats with an unknown vaccination history should receive to protect them against key diseases including enteritis (feline panleukopaenia, a parvovirus) and cat flu (feline calicivirus and feline herpesvirus). Vaccines provide protection from some diseases such as enteritis (feline panleukopaenia) and cat flu (feline calicivirus and feline herpesvirus).
