the injection-site sarcoma issue has largely been eliminated by the removal of the adjuvent, the change in placement of the vaccine, and the advent of safer inoculations, and non-injecting manners of delivery. if you're NEVER going to bring another cat into your house, EVER, then i'd say, don't

We always give the initial series of FELV vaccinations to all cats we adopt out. MC is right, as usual. My old vet said he had NEVER seen a case of sarcoma he felt was caused by a vaccine, but he had seen plenty of cats with FELV. On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 5:23 AM, MaryChristine

I have 10 cats and had I had 11 when the outbreak occurred. Of those cats, the ones who had one vaccination given by me did not become infected. Part of that would be bc of natural immunity and part i believe is bc the original vaccine gave them immunity. Those shots were given 6 or 7 years before
