Boosters - a year from first or second vaccinations???

brokenant

The exact year date would be from the second vaccination, but like I say its just a booster so you can easily have a jab a couple of months either side so shouldn't matter.

It doesn't matter if it is done a little early or a little late.

Although perry is a pup for the last 2 years i have forgotten and it would be a good month or so over and vets are ok with it.

Mine have their boosters annually, but there are certain vaccines out now that do not have to be done every year, but rather every three years. If this type has been used, it should stand as up to date for visits to the cattery, though there might be some debate as this is not widely known (as shown by the debate here), so if I was in this position, I'd be talking to the cattery owner in advance and asking them to consult with the vet if needed.

In answer to gettingready, yes it is the date of the second jab and although there is a bit of leeway, I always try to get mine done in the same month of that anniversary as I'd rather not risk it - my Harry cat once became quite poorly just before his booster was due; I will never know if his illness could have been prevented if he had been vaccinated a bit earlier.

lol... tell me about it! We are going away for a few days over New Year (to Paris ) and I have to take 5 cats (approx 23kg in total) spread amongst three carriers, plus toys, play cube and various other bits to the cattery :eek: But I am fortunate in that I do have a car to transport all that lot in :rotfl:

2 busses each way.. and a bit of walk in between- sigh....

ok - just spoke to CH, definitely counting from the 2nd vacination so..... the girls will be going for their booster around mid Jan (Macius will go with them for his first jab) and the boys 3 weeks later for their booster (Macius with them for his second jab)

ufffffff was worried I have to drag them NOW and I got a nasty cold...

Ohhhh GR (((hugs))) I've woken up with a terrible cold today too - just my luck to get it when I'm off work (although it's so horrible outside I don't think I'd have been going anywhere anyway... but not the point!:))

Good luck taking your hoard for the jabs ....

I really must look into the 3 yearly jabs - ours are now up to £49.85 for their annual booster:eek: which is getting onto be a lot of money.....

Just recovering from the awful cold.... it is not a nice one going around at the moment! And just as you think you are getting over it, it comes right back at ya! (sorry if that made you depressed :eek:)
