i have in the past on my cat only because i was a vet tech at the time and one of the other tech's had purchased distemper vaccines for her cats. If you only have one animal, its not such a good idea cost wise because you cannot buy just one vaccine, you have to purchase a box of them and there are usually at least 25 in a box. Also if you have never given a shot before i don't advise starting now. There is a chance you can give it wrong, or there may be a reaction to the vaccine that you don't pick up on. IMO its just not a good idea unless you've done it before and have been shown how to do it by your veterinarian
