Is it safe for new kittens to be together before FVRCP shots?

Question

I adopted 2 rescue kitties from different shelters, I've been told that they cannot be together until both of them have had both of their FVRCP vaccinations. They each have had the 1st and one of them has had his second....do they really have to be separated until the other has had his second vaccination? I hope not, they are separated and the only way to keep them that way it to keep one in the bathroom, he's bored and lonely! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 5 months and 23 days old | 4.5 lbs

Yes, they should both definitely be kept separated until the other can has had his second vaccine. That's to make sure they are both afforded immunity from serious disease and cannot pass it to each other. It's only temporary. I know Rusty is lonely and bored, but it won't be forever, and then they can play with each other :-)
