When do kittens get their first shot?

Kittens can be vaccinated as early as 8 weeks old. It is best to wean the baby 1 to 2 weeks before vaccination, because maternal antibodies in breast milk will interfere with the effectiveness of the vaccine and increase the risk of vaccination failure. Kittens' initial vaccination usually requires three doses of vaccine and one shot of rabies, with one shot spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart. The rabies vaccine can only be given if the kitten is over 3 months old. After adulthood, you also need to receive one dose of combined vaccine and one shot of rabies vaccine every year, and you need to take your puppy regularly for vaccination.
The precautions for vaccination of kittens are:
1. Health examination. Observe the physical condition of the kitten. When our kitten is uncomfortable, such as the cat does not like to eat, vomits, has diarrhea, has a fever, coughs, does not want to play, etc., the kitten may be sick or in the incubation period of an infectious disease. During this period Cannot be vaccinated.
2. Cats that have just entered the house for the first time should not be vaccinated immediately, especially cats that have just been purchased from the market. They may be infected by the disease due to contact with sick cats, so they should not be vaccinated immediately.
3. Do not bathe the cat within 10 days after vaccination to prevent the cat from going out. After vaccination, do not give the kitten a bath and let it drink plenty of water.
