Cats need 4 shots of vaccine in their first year of immunization. First of all, three shots of the vaccine to prevent cats’ own infectious diseases. The commonly used product is cat triple. It can be vaccinated as early as 8 weeks of age, and the vaccine should be given once every 3-4 weeks. Secondly, a shot of rabies vaccine is also required. The rabies vaccine requires cats to be over 3 months old before they can be vaccinated. Finally, after vaccination, it is recommended to test for antibodies. If the antibodies are qualified, you can get vaccinated once a year in the future. If you are not qualified, you may need to make up for it based on the situation.

Notes after cats have been vaccinated:

1. Vaccination is not recommended before the cat is two months old. Because kittens before two months of age are protected by maternal antibodies, if vaccinated at this time, it will easily cause the vaccine to become ineffective. Therefore, the level of maternal antibodies in the kittens should be reduced before vaccination.

2. It is generally recommended to inject rabies vaccine when kittens are three months old.

3. Kittens can only be vaccinated if they are in good health. Do not take a bath or go out for one week after vaccination to avoid contracting germs and getting sick.
