Vaccinations are essential for your kitten's immune system development. Typically, kittens start their vaccination routine between 6 to 8 weeks of age. Core vaccines, such as those for feline distemper and respiratory infections, are administered early and are crucial for their well-being. To begin the process, contact your local veterinary clinic to set up an initial appointment. They will help you register your kitten and provide a tailored vaccine schedule to keep him safe and healthy.
