The answer to this question varies as it depends on several conditions and factors. The previous years saw the annual administration of booster shots of certain vaccines on cats. However, recent studies determined that this practice may no longer be applicable and beneficial. Why? Some cats may not need the annual shot. Again, it depends on numerous factors, including the following:
●
Type of vaccine
●
Health status of the pet
● The lifestyle of the pet
Understand that some vaccines (i.e.,
viral vaccines) your cat may have been given have at least three-year
protection. So an annual booster shot is no longer necessary. However, some
vaccines like bacterial ones must be given yearly to reinforce the immunity of
pets to fight off the disease.
Experts of today recommend the following:
●
Adult cats to receive a series of
full booster shots
●
Low-risk felines (indoor only) can
receive booster shots every three years
● Cats may receive their booster shots for non-core vaccines (i.e., chlamydia, feline infectious peritonitis, and Bordetella) depending on the go signal of the vet after the conduct of an antibody titer exam
