Not to worry! You can go to the vet at any time and start a series of vaccinations. At the age of almost six months, any vaccine is safe to administer. If Bowser has never received any vaccine previously, he may require more than one to complete the series and receive adequate protection. Depending on your geographic location and inherent risk, certain vaccines may be recommended over others. Wish you and Bowser the best!
