Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Did Misty receive her full protocol of kitten vaccinations? Starting at 8-10 weeks, she should have received a feline distemper vaccine every 3-4 weeks for a full set of three vaccinations. If she did not receive those, then she would need to restart a vaccine protocol appropriate for her age as directed by her regular veterinarian. If she received her vaccines as a kitten, then she would receive a booster every 1-3 years as directed by your regular veterinarian.

The current recommendations for the feline distemper series should start around 8 weeks of age (sometimes earlier) and be boostered every 3-4 weeks until about 16 weeks of age. As long as your kitten has had at least 2 vaccinations at least 3 weeks apart and the last one being at 16 weeks or older then that would be considered adequately vaccinated. I hope this helps! Thank you for using Pet Coach.
