What is cat vaccination (primary course)?

The primary vaccination course for cats protects against feline herpesvirus, calicivirus, and panleukopenia (the 'core' vaccines), with optional cover for feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) depending on your cat's lifestyle. The course consists of two injections given 3–4 weeks apart, typically starting at 8–9 weeks of age. Kittens are not considered fully protected until one to two weeks after the second injection.

Why do prices vary between vets?

Vaccine brand and formulation — different manufacturers charge different wholesale prices, which practices pass on
Inclusion of FeLV (feline leukaemia) — this is an optional vaccine some practices include as standard and others charge for separately
Kitten health check — many practices include a full health check with the first injection, which is costed into the overall price
Location — city-centre practices in London and other major cities typically charge more than rural practices

Frequently asked questions

When should I get my kitten vaccinated?

Most vets recommend starting the primary course at 8–9 weeks of age, with the second injection at 12 weeks. Your kitten should be kept indoors until 1–2 weeks after the second injection to ensure full protection. Book your first appointment as soon as you bring your kitten home.

What diseases does the cat vaccination protect against?

The core cat vaccine covers feline herpesvirus (cat flu), feline calicivirus (cat flu), and feline panleukopenia (feline distemper). Many vets also recommend vaccination against feline leukaemia virus (FeLV), particularly for cats that go outdoors.

What happens if my kitten misses the second injection?

If the gap between injections exceeds the recommended window (typically 4–6 weeks), the course may need to be restarted. Contact your vet as soon as possible — they will advise whether a restart is required based on the specific vaccine used.
