It’s never too late to start a vaccination programme. Older cats often have a weaker immune system so it is especially important to give them a helping hand and keep their boosters up to date.
The short answer is yes. There are two vaccines that are recommended for indoor cats . One is a combination vaccine which is abbreviated to FVRCP (stands for: feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia). The diseases this vaccine protects against are devastating if not fatal.
Currently the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) vaccination guidelines recommend that low-risk adult cats that received the full booster series of vaccines as kittens can be vaccinated every three years for the core vaccines ( feline viral rhinotracheitis, feline calicivirus, feline panleukopenia, and
Immunizations are started at 6-8 weeks of age and are repeated every 3-4 weeks until the kitten is 4 months old. The routine or core vaccinations will protect your kitten from the most common diseases: feline distemper ( panleukopenia ), feline viral rhinotracheitis (feline herpes virus 1), calicivirus, and rabies .

A kitten’s weight in pounds roughly corresponds to his age in months, and he will gain weight at a relatively predictable rate until about 5 months of age . As long as a kitten is in good body condition, you can safely guess that a 1-pound kitten is about 4 weeks old and a 3-pound kitten is about 12 weeks old .
Depending on the age of your kitten , the first trip to the vets usually involves his first vaccination. This is due at 8-10 weeks of age with a second vaccination 2-4 weeks after the first . The examination does not cause your kitten any pain, and even the vaccinations are just a slight needle prick.
