Feline panleukopenia–which vaccine?*

Although technically a simple procedure vaccination requires professional consideration. Present panleucopenia vaccines are of inactivated homologous tissue extract origin, inactivated tissue culture produced, or live modified tissue culture. Their pros and cons are considered in respect of the time for protection to develop pain–free injection and overall safety. Interference by maternal immunity with successful vaccination is discussed, and a consequent vaccination regime for the average situation is suggested. This is a standard innoculation of kittens at 12 weeks of age with optional injections at 8 and 16 weeks, according to professional assessment of the risks. The subjects of booster innoculations and vaccination of exotic species susceptible to panleucopenia are also mentioned. Résumé.
