Vaccinate puppies and kittens against the clinically important infectious agents such as distemper virus, parvovirus, panleukopenia and rabies.

Avoid vaccinations before 6 weeks of age. Give 2 to 4 doses of vaccine spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.

Give annual booster vaccine at 1 year and give boosters every 3 years, unless otherwise required by law.

Monitor serum antibody levels annually between boosters. (This means that your dog or cat should have a blood test done to measure the level of "immune memory" to a disease.)

*Geriatric animals generally do not need booster vaccinations. Monitor serum antibody titers instead
