Core cat vaccinations in South Australia

Core vaccines are recommended for every cat, regardless of their lifestyle, as they protect against the most common and dangerous feline diseases.

F3 vaccine (essential for all cats):

  • Feline Panleukopenia (feline enteritis).
  • Feline Herpesvirus.
  • Feline Calicivirus.

This is the standard core vaccination in South Australia for both indoor and outdoor cats.

F4 vaccine (optional upgrade):

  • Covers everything in the F3 vaccine, plus:
  • Feline Chlamydia (for cats at higher risk).

Optional cat vaccinations in South Australia

Optional vaccines depend on your cat's lifestyle and exposure risks. Your vet can advise whether these are needed:

FIV vaccine (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus): Recommended for outdoor cats or those exposed to other cats.

FeLV vaccine Rare in Australia but may be recommended for high-risk cats.

Recommended cat vaccination schedule

Kittens:
  • 6 to 8 weeks: First F3 vaccination.
  • 10 to 12 weeks: Second F3 or F4 vaccination.
  • 14 to 16 weeks: Third F3 or F4 vaccination.
  • Annual boosters thereafter.
Adult cats:
  • Annual F3 booster.
  • Optional FIV, FeLV, or F4 boosters based on lifestyle.
