I thought the vaccines were a few months before the blood test... A few weeks before might affect the results.

The ALT is too high. The highest it should be is 100 or maybe 118. I don't know how high the ALT has to be for this to apply but experts say if the ALT is high, the liver is 70% damaged. They probably mean elevated to 500-700 though. Maybe check with a vet?
