At what age should my kitten be vaccinated?

Vaccination of kittens generally takes place at 9 weeks of age with a second booster vaccine given at 12 weeks. Sometimes the first vaccination may be given earlier. A course of three vaccinations in total may be required if the breeder had the kitten given its initial vaccine at a very young age.
