Kitten vaccines are important because kittens lose any immunity they had while they were nursing from their mom. Vaccines help protect them going forward.
When should kittens get their first vaccination?
Kittens should come for their first complete physical exam and vaccines at 8 weeks old.
How often does my kitten need to be vaccinated?
There are 3 visits for kittens at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 16 weeks old.
Does my kitten only need core vaccines?
Depending on their lifestyle, your kitten may need additional vaccines. Your veterinarian will discuss this with you during the exam.
