Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If a 6+ month kitten has not had any vaccines, it will need a rabies shot and 1-2 distemper combination shots depending upon the vaccine used and the veterinarian giving the vaccine. Also, the vet will discuss other vaccines to see if they are appropriate. Good luck.
