Another topic recently surfaced which involves the increase of cancer at vaccine sites which modern medical veterinarians constantly encourage renewing in your pets on an annual or semi-annual basis. Get the facts first.
For example, if your cat is housebound chances are you will not need to have rabies or distemper shots although your medical veterinarian will pressure you to do so. Unless you live in an area where rabies has been reported in wildlife, and you have infected wild mice in your house (albeit far fetched, my vet actually used this as an example to persuade me to get the vaccines), then don't have your cats subjected to these shots. My eldest cat lived to age 18 without having these shots, in spite of constant pressure from the vet.
Search the web for more information and become educated on the subject before permitting your veterinarian to pressure you into these decisions.
