Can Cats Be Over-Vaccinated?




The value of immunizations to your cat's general health and longevity cannot be overstated. Cat immunizations have been medically and scientifically proven to prevent the onset and spread of debilitating and lethal feline illnesses.

Vaccination procedures for pets are also changing. The requirements you previously followed may alter when newer vaccinations are created. An example of adjustments made is administering certain immunizations every two to three years rather than annually.

While immunizations may not provide 100% protection against some illnesses, they reduce the likelihood of animals contracting a severe condition. Some vaccinations only give temporary protection and may require booster doses to maintain the required protection.

However, some can give protection for longer than one year or perhaps a lifetime. For decades, yearly vaccine administration has been practiced. Recent research has shown that some vaccinations whose protection could last longer than veterinarians may administer one year every two years or so.

If you have questions and/or concerns about vaccines and vaccination don’t hesitate to visit your veterinary clinic Savannah, GA
