Shots?

To summarize the consensus, what I hear you saying is:

1. Rabies shots are necessary because they are required by law.
2. Distemper shot is unanimously considered good.
3. Leukemia shot is recommended for outdoor cats.
4. FIP is not recommended
5. FIV is not recommended but there are exceptions.

So it looks like my little guy will get the distemper shot for sure.

What wasn't answered is frequency. The local vet recommends all shots
annually. But I checked another vet who says every 3 years,
unfortunately I don't recall for which shots.

1. Distemper - what frequency?
2. Leukemia - what frequency?

Thanks,
Jim

1. Distemper - what frequency?

Is this a grown cat that has already had his kitten set of shots? After the
primary set of vaccinations, the recommended protocol is no more frequently
than every three years.

2. Leukemia - what frequency?

This is still administered annually.

Rabies vaccination can be given every year or every three years--which
frequency depends on the requirements of local law.

I have also heard that, if your cat is health-compromised, that your vet can
write a letter that exempts the cat from the law. I don't have any experience
with this first-hand, though.
