When should your kitten have vaccinations?
Kittens usually start with a course of two injections, given at nine and 12 weeks. A booster follows this first vaccination 12 months later, and then again once a year throughout your cat’s adult life.
Keep your kitten’s vaccination records safe and check whether your vet practice offers a vaccination reminder service. Remember, as part of your Petplan insurance, you must keep your cat’s vaccinations up to date.
