Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) can suppress theimmune system in some cats. It is generally preferable to use a killed vaccine instead of a modified live vaccine in animals with immunosuppression. If the FeLV or FIV-infected cat appears healthy, the cat should be vaccinated according to the vaccination schedule for non-infected cats.
