2013-2016 FELINE VACCINATION PROTOCOL – W. JEAN DODDS, DVM<\/a><\/h2>\n

Approximately seven years ago, the\u00a0American Association of Feline Practitioners<\/a>(AAFP) sponsored and conducted a groundbreaking study on feline vaccines. The panel – which included Dr. Dodds\u2019 colleague, Dr. Ron Schultz – divided the vaccines into core and non-core. Just this year, the AAFP published updated feline vaccination guidelines. Dr. Dodds agrees with the panel\u2019s findings, with the exception of giving feline leukemia vaccine to kittens that will be kept strictly indoors. She also prefers a more minimal and delayed vaccination schedule to offset potential adverse vaccine reactions and feline vaccine injection site-associated sarcomas. Additionally, Dr. Dodds considers factors such as presence of maternal immunity, prevalence of viruses or other infectious agents in the region, number of reported occurrences of the viruses and other infectious agents, how these agents are spread, and the typical environmental conditions and exposure risk activities of companion animals.<\/p>\n

2013-2016 Feline Vaccination Protocol
\nNote:<\/b>\u00a0The following vaccine protocol is offered for those cats where minimal vaccinations are advisable or desirable. The schedule is one Dr. Dodds recommends and should not interpreted to mean that other protocols recommended by a veterinarian would be less satisfactory. It\u2019s a matter of professional judgment and choice.<\/p>\n

8-9 Weeks Old:
\nPanleukopenia (feline parvovirus),\u00a0Calicivirus, Rhinopneumonitits Virus (feline herpesvirus-1)
\n(FVRCP)<\/p>\n

12-13 Weeks Old:
\nSame as above<\/p>\n

24 Weeks or Older (if required by law):
\nRabies (e.g. Merial Purevax\u2122, recombinant)<\/p>\n

1 Year:
\nFVRCP booster (optional = titer)<\/p>\n

1+ Year:
\nRabies, same as above but separated by 2-3 weeks from FVRCP<\/p>\n

Perform vaccine antibody titers for panleukopenia virus every three years thereafter, or more often, if desired. Vaccinate for rabies virus according to the law, except where circumstances indicate that a written waiver needs to be obtained from the primary care veterinarian. \u00a0In that case, a rabies antibody titer can also be performed to accompany the waiver request.
