triennial
level of risk: solitary, indoor animal that does not visit a boarding cattery
low
level or risk: nimal that regularly visits a boarding cattery or that lives in a multicat, indoor–outdoor household

The most robust immunity conferred by these vaccines occurs within the _-month period after vaccination

2-4 weeks

in kittens MDA wane at ___ age
8-12 weekas
The VGG has reviewed recent studies suggesting that up to one third of kittens may fail to respond to a final core vaccine given at 16 weeks of age and that a proportion of kittens may still have blocking MDA at _weeks of age
20
, adopting such a protocol will mean that vaccination started in a 6 or 7 week old kitten, might now entail up to __ vaccine visits in the first 6 months of life.

As for puppies, adoption of the 26 week vaccination approach would preclude a first annual health check at 12 or 16 months of age.
