Do any of you have a strong opinion on what Feline Leukemia vaccine to use?
I've heard there is a killed virus or a live virus. What is your preference?
I've heard there is a new one that is out and it's a live virus.
Thanks so much!

Maybe she means FIP, that shot has not been proven and is too controversial.

I understood there was no vaccination against FIV, only FelV.

Lynda,
I recently had 2 of my cats vax'd for felv...make sure the vax doesn't have
an adjuvant...they are known to possibly cause a sarcoma at the injection
site...The brand was Merial, and it is 'PUREVAX Recombinant Leukemia Vaccine
and the VET *JET* transdermal. I have one cat who has reactions
Just to clarify, Merial's PUREVAX Recombinant Leukemia Vaccine and the VET
JET transdermal DOES NOT have an adjuvant!

My vet is out of town. Does anyone have an idea as to how long it takes for
a kitten or cat to be protected against FeLV once he/she receives the
vaccine? (I do realize that the vaccine is not a 100% guarantee).
Thanks!

I found this on vetinfo.com (see below). My vet uses the vaccine from
Pfizer. I don't know what the difference is or if there is any.
There are different manufacturers for the leukemia vaccines such as Pfizer,
Fort Dodge and Merial
Good to know!, my vet just carries Pfitzer brand, so I will go with that.
Thanks!

Impossible. The virus used in the FeLV vaccine is a killed virus. The only
vaccines that have a *remote* potential to cause disease
this is an old myth that continues to make the rounds.
the FeLV virus does not, and cannot, cause a cat to become positive. in
fact, there is anecdotal evidence on this list, that vaccinating a truly
positive FeLV increases their lifespan!
(anyone on this list also on Fan-H? gloria, maybe? there
Nope don't know about that list mc but interested. I'll check it out.

I heard this from a friend and it shocked me because another friend has a
healthy cat who received her felv vaccine and booster last year. All her pets
are indoor and outdoor animals. She has 1 cat and two dogs.
I have never heard this before and have had FELV cats since 2003, and
read up on it, used to more than I do now. I seriously doubt if
there's any truth to it at all. Perhaps they're getting mixed up with
the FIV vaccine causing a cat to TEST positive for FIV (not turn
positive though).
Hi, Gloria, Let me get this straightYour vet vaccinated FelV
positive cats with the FelV vaccine to deal with FelV. I understood
that once a cat was FelV positive the vaccine was not going to change
it's status, and the cat would still remain positive. Does anyone else
know anything

Sabrina,
Thanks for your feedback on the FelV vaccine. Years ago when the
vaccine first came out I heard it was not too effective, but I hoped
it had improved.
Has anyone else had experience with the vaccine to share with me?

My understanding is that the vaccine is 85-90% effective.
We vaccinate all our rescue cats, and I vaccinate all my personal cats. You
will find others on this list who do not vaccinate at all. It is a very
personal decision.

My vet said that the vaccine is 90+% effective and that
the likelihood of my other six adult, healthy cats getting leukemia was
extremely small.
In my opinion, one needs to look at all of the factors before deciding
whether or not to vaccinate.
1) Vaccine efficacy. I have heard anywhere from
