Hello. There is no reason that a cat that previously blocked should not receive vaccinations. At the very least, the rabies vaccine should be kept up to date. For feline distemper/leukemia, as long as Ray has received the kitten series, & 1 booster one year later, then I am OK with boosting this vaccine every 2-3 years. Cats can slip outdoors so it is best to try & keep immunity up. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
