Most kittens will need a dewormer for roundworms and hookworms like pyrantel: https://www.petcoach.co/article/cat-roundworms-ascarids-toxascaris-leonina-toxocara-cati/ I don;t recommend a flea shampoo because they can be toxic and they are not very effective. A better option is to apply a dose of revolution to Lokee which will last for 30 days and is safe on young kittens. Vaccines should start between 6-8 weeks of age. Lokee will also need to be checked for parasites (coccidia are common) and an Felv/FIV test. Here is great information about what kittens need: https://www.petcoach.co/article/routine-veterinary-examinations-for-your-kitten/ I hope this helps.
