No, it is recommended to vaccinate first and then vaccinate. Because kittens are infected with parasite eggs from their milk during the lactation stage, parasites are basically present in their bodies. The parasites secrete toxins and reduce immune effects. Generally, after cats are dewormed, it takes two weeks before they can be vaccinated.

Why can’t cat deworming and vaccination be done at the same time?

Under normal circumstances, the two steps of cat deworming and vaccination cannot be carried out at the same time. The prerequisite for vaccination is that the cat is in a very healthy state, so that the drug can promote the body to produce antibodies. If deworming is performed at the same time, plus the unavoidable side effects of deworming drugs, the two will cause stress in the cat's body, thereby causing the cat's gastrointestinal discomfort. It can lead to a loss of appetite, and in severe cases may even lead to symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. If you are vaccinated after deworming, the immune response of the vaccine itself may be reduced, which may not be effective in preventing infectious diseases.

The time interval between deworming and vaccination 

There needs to be an interval of 3-7 days between external deworming and internal deworming, and deworming is usually performed 5-7 days before immunization. If the vaccine has been injected, the interval is 5-7 days.
