My adopted cat missed her FVRCP booster. When is the next one?

Question

Adopted 2.5 yr old cat from shelter. Fostered for 3 months after on streets. First and only immunization for FVRCP on 10/7/17. Shouldn't a second one been given a month later? Since it wasn't, when should she get next one? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 2 years and 6 months old | 10 lbs

Molly is adorable! Thank you for including a picture. I have attached a link below to the recommendations from the American Association of Feline Practitioners. https://www.catvets.com/public/PDFs/PracticeGuidelines/VaccinationGLS-summary.pdf A booster of the FVRCP vaccination needs to be given in order for the vaccination to be protective. For an adult cat, a series of 2 FVRCP vaccinations should be given 3-4 weeks apart. If Molly was fostered for 3 months, is it possible that she received another vaccination that wasn't properly recorded? If so, then she should receive a booster in a year. If not, then she should receive 2 more boosters now with the second one 3-4 week after the first one to make sure that she is properly protected. I hope that was helpful and answers your questions. Thanks for using PetCoach.
