Vaccination schedule for kittens

Kittens need to receive two types of vaccines in their first year, which are infectious disease vaccines and rabies vaccines. The age for the first vaccination of infectious disease vaccines is around 2 months, and the age for the first vaccination of rabies vaccines is around 3 months. It is important to note that before vaccination, it is necessary to ensure that the kitten is completely healthy, without symptoms such as coughing and sneezing, and that its temperature is normal.

When a kitten is 2 months old, it is time for the kitten's vaccination and can be taken to a pet hospital for the first infectious disease vaccine. Before the vaccination, it is necessary to ensure that the kitten is in perfect health, without symptoms of soft stools, diarrhea, coughing, and sneezing, and that its temperature is within the normal range.

Kittens need to receive three doses of infectious disease vaccines in their first year, with an interval of 28 days between each dose. It is generally not recommended to vaccinate early or late, as this can affect the immune effect of the vaccine.

After receiving the infectious disease vaccine, a kitten may experience adverse reactions, especially acute allergic reactions. The clinical manifestations of acute allergic reactions include red and swollen eyes, watery eyes, and facial swelling. If these symptoms occur, it is recommended to notify the staff at the pet hospital and use desensitizing drugs promptly. In addition, kittens may also experience mild adverse reactions after vaccination, such as slight drowsiness, decreased appetite, and mild fever. This can usually disappear about two days after vaccination. If it does not disappear or has a further exacerbation, prompt treatment is necessary.

When a cat is older than 3 months, it can begin to receive the rabies vaccine, which can be done simultaneously with the last dose of the infectious disease vaccine.
