What is the difference between a one-year rabies vaccine and a three-year rabies vaccine?
The vaccine, itself, is exactly the same product. The difference is in the timing, only. A first rabies vaccine is only ever effective for one year. Any subsequent rabies vaccine will be effective for three years.
What is the difference between a three-week, a one-year, and a three-year distemper vaccine?
Again, the product, itself, is the same. It’s all about the timing. Puppies and kittens should receive a series of distemper vaccines, with one vaccine given every three to five weeks, until between 16 and 18 weeks of age. An annual booster is given one year later. Subsequent boosters will be effective for three years.
