My cat is on antibiotics for a UTI right now, do I have to wait for his annual vaccines until he's done with his meds?

Hello, thank you for your question about Havoc. As a general rule most veterinarians do recommend waiting until a pet is fully healthy before giving vaccines. That way we know the per’s immune system can respond to the vaccines fully and appropriately because it is not currently dealing with any other infections. Hope this helps!
