Vaccine

Vaccination is the process of growing and developing the body's defense system, with individual goals that have been carried out vaccinations protected from infection outbreak, until no symptoms of illness, or to limit the process of infection by pathogenic infectious agents. In practice, vaccination programs to protect animals against specific diseases caused by microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Against other infectious agents, such as parasites, for preventive vaccination is still in development to be effective. Vaccines can protect the individual's body against infectious agents that are primary pathogens, by forming antibodies, but it is secondary to form cellular system Mediated Immunity (CMI) and encourage the formation of local antibodies. Such vaccines could prevent the onset of symptoms, but were unable to prevent re-infection is shown by the distemper vaccine, ICH, and panleukopenia. Vaccines are only able to prevent the symptoms without being able to prevent reinfection, shown in vaccines FVR (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis). The vaccine is only able to activate cellular immunity and encourage local antibody formation, to prevent infection may play a role.

Vaccines are injections of microorganisms (viruses, protozoa, etc.) that has been attenuated into the recipient's body to stimulate immune cells of the recipient against a particular disease (depending on type of vaccine). The cat should be vaccinated? Depends. The cat who lives mostly in the house just because they do not need to be vaccinated less likely to be contaminated by microorganisms (which many scattered outside the home, especially in dirty places.) For cats that are left loose outside the home are encouraged to be vaccinated, the article most likely your cat is contaminated by microorganisms (for example: being bitten by a rabid dog, drink the waste water / sewer, eating contaminated food waste, etc.).

rabies vaccine? probably 12-16 weeks you would have to discuss with your vet other vaccines

Not sure which vaccine you are questioning. There are several. A cat is almost never too old to begin most vaccines, like rabies and distemper. Distemper shots should begin around 6 - 8 weeks of age and rabies vaccine within the first year. They should be given those shots every year for life (although some states have a 3 year rabies vaccine, check with your state.) But distemper is every year.

I also have a cat, but when my cat started in the vaccine when age was seven months, until every single year is always so routine. Vaccine quite a bit more, not just a dog, the rabies vaccine, cats too, but it's better to ask her doctor, he usually let me know the reference.

Various factors play a role in determining the success of a vaccination program. These factors include the role of maternal antibodies, vaccines, vaccination application, age of the animal, the condition of animals during vaccination, and the presence or absence of other diseases when vaccination. Antibodies owned the kitten came from the acquisition during the acquisition of the fetus in the womb or through the colostrum. Based on the anatomy of the placenta which is owned cats, can be the analysis that 95% of immunoglobulins have been passed on to the child than 100% owned by the parent. Thus the kittens are born with do not get colostrum can still survive the infection in some time, given that the kitten contains 95% immunoglobulin. When immunity is acceptable in content and supplemented with acquired immunity through the colostrum, then the children born within a few days to have maternal immunity. Immune system formed as above is called passive immunity. Immunity in the form of immunoglobulin that can last 14-16 weeks. In the last few weeks from the time we mentioned the number of immune substances is so low that the kittens are vulnerable to infection. Decrease in immune substances decreased because the weight of the child. If at the age of 6-8 weeks kitten vaccinated, they are able to form active immune substances * Vaccines contain only a relatively small antigen. Antigen is still living in is expected to multiply in the body of individuals who injected to stimulate the formation of antibodies. -the antigenic vaccine containing a substantial amount. -The vaccine stimulates the formation of antibodies from vaccinated individuals.
