Minnesota Valley Veterinary Services Kitten Vaccine Protocol

While every kitten needs to be evaluated on an individual basis, we recommend the following schedule for the majority of our young cats. This ensures that our vaccines stimulate their immune system to develop and protect them while the antibodies from their mother’s milk wane as they grow.  

  • 8 weeks
    • RCP Combination (Panleukopenia, Calici virus, Rhinotracheitis)
  • 12 weeks
    • RCP Combination
    • Leukemia
  • 16 weeks
    • RCP Combination
    • Rabies
    • Leukemia
  • 24 weeks (6 months)
    • RCP Combination

Bolded vaccines are considered core vaccines that all kittens need regardless of lifestyle or location. Non-bolded vaccines are still highly recommended based on the AAFP Guidelines.  We recommend all kittens be surgically sterilized (spay/neuter) at 5 months of age.
