S2 B6 1 | Is Cat Vaccination Necessary? Here’s Why It Matters

Many people believe that vaccination isn't important or necessary, especially if their cats stay indoors all the time. But do we really need to vaccinate them? According to Thai law, the rabies vaccine is mandatory. Even rats and bats can carry rabies, and we never know what might enter our house. Vaccination isn't just about protecting your cat—it also helps safeguard your household from potential threats.

What about other vaccines like leukemia, parvovirus, and cat flu? Are they necessary? While there's a small chance of an allergic reaction, the risk is quite low. Is there a chance? Yes. But is vaccination worth it? Absolutely! For parvovirus and cat flu, vaccination is highly recommended because it helps prevent serious illnesses. However, if your cat never meets other cats and you only have one at home, the leukemia vaccine may not be essential. In short, vaccination is crucial—don't overlook it!
