I believe you mean the distemper vaccine. Feline distemper vaccine is a combination vaccine including feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia. You can give your local VetCo a call to make Oreo an appointment to get it done. At seven months of age, he should have one now, and another in four weeks to make sure he is fully protected. I hope this helps!
