In short
Core kitten vaccines (panleukopenia, herpesvirus, calicivirus) are usually repeated weeks apart, then boosters. Rabies and FeLV depend on lifestyle and local rules.
For first-visit timing see when to vaccinate. Dogs: dog vaccine schedule.
Kittens
Maternal antibodies affect vaccine response, so one injection is not “done”. Intervals belong to the exam — do not copy a table from the internet.
Diarrhoea, fever or poor appetite can delay a vaccine day. Kitten care covers the first weeks.
Adults and boosters
With no booklet, the veterinarian builds a plan from scratch. Booster spacing depends on product and risk. See the vaccine reminder guide.
Do not
Do not use human vaccines, another pet’s dose or a neighbour’s product. Facial swelling, vomiting or collapse after a vaccine: do not wait.
