Hello. Great questions! Vaccinations are given at 8,1 2 and 16 weeks of age. So, if he got his 8 week vaccines already, then you need to take him at 12 weeks of age. How much food he should be eating depends on what food you are feeding him and how much he weighs. If you want to post again with that information we can maybe help you better. Our usual recommendation though is to go by what your particular bag of food recommends on the packaging. Best wishes.
