The intranasals are very effective and work quickly. The shelter I used to work
with sometimes gave them to kittens. The vet did say, however, that there was
more risk of URI with them and since the vaccine was live, they could sneeze
it onto other cats. I don't know how true that is.
My vet had started to use the FeLV gun, which is supposed to have fewer
side effects. One of my cats did get extremely lethargic after being
vaccinated, but she also had the FVRCP with it. When she was re-vaccinated at
the shelter with regular vaccines, she didin't have a reaction. I do thinks the
gun is better, but I would not give 2 vaccines at the same time any more.

Just a side note... there are effective intra-nasal FVRCP vaccines which do
not
require any injection, thus NO RISK of sarcoma. Then there are non-adjuvanted

and FELV vaccines, which are less apt to cause sarcoma, even though they are
injected
(well, the FELV vaccine is actually jetted without a needle through the skin).
I have all this info and more on my vaccine info page at:
