My puppy missed a vaccine over 2 months ago. Is it too late?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It should be fine to give him the second round of vaccines at this point. I would highly encourage you to do it as soon as possible so that you can continue and finish the course. Good luck and have a great day!

Depending on his age and vaccination history, he made need to restart the 5in1 series again and have 2 doses 3-4 weeks apart. The best thing would be to have a vet examine him and evaluate his vaccine history and determine which vaccines he needs and when.

Yes, a third booster is required within the appropriate time line (2-4 weeks). Vaccines must be given in certain time frames to ensure they are effective. Vaccines given too late will not be effective. It's better to play it safe than risk disease. One gentle reminder, the vast majority of veterinarian are not out to make money. As a profession, we are not rich. We make recommendations based upon the best health of the pet. I hope this helps.

Hi there. Vaccinations are based on the puppy's age, not how many vaccines they've had previously - so it doesn't really matter whether your vet is "counting" the first ones or not. If it's been more than three weeks since her most recent vaccination, she would be due for a booster now. If she's about three months old, she will need a total of 1-2 additional boosters to finish out her series, since we want the last vaccine to be given at 16 weeks or older.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It isn't too terrible, he is just unprotected at this time. Your Vet may now want him to get a 2nd booster 3 weeks later. I would get him in this week for the booster. I hope this helps!

Not to worry! You can go to the vet at any time and start a series of vaccinations. At the age of almost six months, any vaccine is safe to administer. If Bowser has never received any vaccine previously, he may require more than one to complete the series and receive adequate protection. Depending on your geographic location and inherent risk, certain vaccines may be recommended over others. Wish you and Bowser the best!

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Amber is beautiful. I would say yes. I use a guideline that I have read regarding vaccination guidelines. As long as you don't go 6 weeks in between boosters you are ok. Beyond 6 weeks you are going into a time period where a good immune response could be less likely and then another booster would be advised. So as long as you are under 6 weeks between vaccines you should be fine. Good luck with Amber.
