My kitten's first vaccine is delayed. Will it still work at 12 weeks?

Question

due to the coronavirus my kitten is unable to get its first vacation. Is it still effective if the kitten has the vaccine when the vets are back open say when it’s 12 weeks old instead of 8?

Yes, the vaccine would still be effective. Vaccines protect animals against future exposure, and if your kitten is kept safely at home its exposure to the diseases we vaccinate against should be pretty minimal. I do recommend reaching out to your vet clinic for guidance, however. Most clinics are having to adjust their appointments during coronavirus, but puppy and kitten vaccine series are often the only vaccine appointments still offered. Hope this helps!
