Do adult cats really need 4-in-1 and rabies shots every 3 years?

Question

My cat is an adult cat. Would 4-in-1 shot and rabies shot every 3 years suffice? I heard from another source that they must be done annually, but if it's unnecessary then maybe it's better to do it every 3 years? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 lbs

This sort of question largely depends on your geographic location and the exact vaccine type that is being administered. In the USA, every state has the right to say how long a vaccine is licensed for and how long it offers protection. In my state of Pennsylvania, we have two different Rabies vaccines that we use for instance. One of them is good for one year and the other is good for three years. We use the one year one more because we believe it is safe and offers better protection. Ultimately, I would speak to one or two different vets to get their opinion on the matter. Lastly, if your kitty spends any time outdoors, I would highly recommend the feline leukemia vaccine as well as this is a common condition spread among outdoor cats. Hope this helps.
