From 8 weeks (Primary vaccination 1)

This is the first of three primary vaccinations and your cat normally receives it from the breeder. The breeder vaccinates your cat against:

• Feline panleukopenia = Typhus (T) = Feline parvovirus (P or FPV)

• Calicivirosis (C or FCV) = one of the valences forming part of Coryza

• Feline rhinotracheitis (R) = Feline herpes virus (FVH) = one of the valences forming part of Coryza

• Leukosis (FelV) mainly for cats that go outside: primary vaccination possible from 8 weeks after negative screening of the cat

From 12 weeks (Primary vaccination 2)

This is the second of three primary vaccinations. This vaccinates your cat against:

• Feline panleukopenia = Typhus (T) = Feline parvovirus (P or FPV)

• Calicivirosis (C or FCV) = one of the valences forming part of Coryza

• Feline rhinotracheitis (R) = Feline herpes virus (FVH) = one of the valences forming part of Coryza

• Leukemia (FelV) mainly for cats that go outside: booster of primary vaccination if first injection at 8 weeks

• Rabies (R) (primary vaccination from 12 weeks of age)

From 16 weeks (Primary vaccination 3)

This is the third of the three primary vaccines. It allows you to vaccinate your cat against:

• Feline panleukopenia = Typhus (T) = Feline parvovirus (P or FPV)

  • primary vaccination booster if first injection at 12 weeks

  • not necessary if kitten had first injection at 8 weeks and second injection at 12 weeks
