Are these the same vaccines and if not, what are the differences and what is best for my new kitten?

Feline Rhinotracheitis
Calicivirus
Panleukopenia
SOLO-JEC Feline 3 in 1
and
FVRCP (5 in 1)( which right there in the numbers tells me that are 2 additional vaccines in the FVRCP than 3 in 1)

My mother in law usually orders my vaccines for me but she's out of the country now and I'm unable to ask her personally what she thinks. She used to breed himalayan's. So i called my vet and they recommended I get the FVRCP (she said it was basically the same as the solo jec 3 in 1 but I've been unable to find any information stating this) but the company I'm ordering from said the SOLO JEC 3 in 1 Feline Rhinotracheitis Calicivirus Panleukopenia is what I need. The solo jec 3 in 1 is what I've personally used in the past but I'm wondering now if there is a difference & if so which is best for my 10 week persian kitten?

She just had a clean bill of health from my vet along with revolution and full check up so all I need now are her vaccines and she'll be right as rain. She's strictly indoor. My other cats are all fully vaccinated and up to date of flea prevention.

Sorry for the messiness of this post. I'm on my phone and it's not making it easy.

FVCRP stands for Feline Viral Calicivirus, Rhinotracheitis, and Panleukopenia. So that's the same as the 3-in-1. Mostly, brand is a personal preference and shouldn't make much difference. But there is a new vaccine called Purevax that may be safer than regular vaccines because it doesn't have an adjuvant. So it might have less risk of causing an injection-site sarcoma. I can only find it in 25-packs though :/.

There is a 4-in-1 vaccine that includes a vaccine for chlamydia psittoci. I haven't researched the benefits/risks of that.

Thanks so much! I was thinking they might be the same thing, just couldn't verify that. I'll check in to the other 2 you mentioned. I know what you mean about only being able to find the 25 doses. It can be frustrating lol. Thanks again for the tip!
