Someone had posted a link, and I can't seem to find it about the differences between core vaccines and yearly vaccines. I would like to start compiling some information about this to pass on to clients for our kitten packages. We are getting clients who have lost cats to, or have freinds or family who have lost cats to vaccine related sarcoma's and don't want to do any vaccines at all. I just want to gather information for them so they can at least be informed about their descision.

This is from 2002 I believe, Winn Foundation article with many specific articles/references listed that you can check out.

I think it answers your questions (just skimmed it quickly): click here

Thank you. I am getting clients who think that if their cat (and dog) are not around other cats and dogs they are safe, then a couple of months (or years) later bring in a new addition that they found on the side of the road or in a parking lot that brings in panleukopenia or parvo and then are devastated that the lost their beloved pet to a preventable virus.

I found a vet who will give intranasal vaccines. She used the Heska FVRCP intranasal when she gave my Gracie her every 2 year vaccine. I had discussed my concern about VAS and I called around till I found a holistic vet that uses the intranasal. The rabies, if given, is still an injection.
You can Google Heska intranasal for more info.

We use injectable still at this point, but I will look into the intranasal. I just want clinets so understand that the core vaccines are the most important vaccines a kitten or puppy will recieve, after that every 3 years or so for vaccines is not a big deal.
