Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. A veterinarian in India will be beat able to answer this question based on local disease and parasite patterns. Here in the US, I deworm kittens with fenbedazole and praziquantel. This may be needed just once or several times throughout kittenhood. I give the FVRCP vaccine starting at 6-8 weeks. I give one every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks of age. I give a feline leukemia vaccine at 12 weeks and 16 weeks. I give a rabies vaccine at 12 or 16 weeks. Again there may be other recommended vaccines or deworming depending on your local area. Best wishes to you and your new kitten!
