Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Amber is beautiful. I would say yes. I use a guideline that I have read regarding vaccination guidelines. As long as you don't go 6 weeks in between boosters you are ok. Beyond 6 weeks you are going into a time period where a good immune response could be less likely and then another booster would be advised. So as long as you are under 6 weeks between vaccines you should be fine. Good luck with Amber.

Hello. Good question! You would just take him to vet now and get the vaccines done and then booster those vaccines in 3-4 weeks. Not a problem! Your vet may recommend one additional set of vaccine boosters after that. Just go by their recommendation. I hope this answers your question! Dr. Amber

Start by taking him straight to the vet! They will probably check for intestinal parasites and give the first round of all vaccinations as if he has never received any. Then he should only need to have one set of boosters 3-4 weeks later.
