Vaccines for kittens should be given 4 weeks apart. It is best to stay as close to that schedule as possible and can be difficult this time of year due to the holidays. If waiting until January is only a week behind, it will be fine. If waiting that long pushes them several weeks behind, then it is best to do them. At their ages this should be the final round
