In terms of its need to be protected from disease, all cats should get the same regimen of vaccinations and annual boosters. Himalayans are no exception. Speak to your veterinarian.

Each year, Himalayan cats need FVRCP (combination of Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia-more commonly known as upper respiratory infections and distemper), Feline Leukemia, and Rabies vaccinations. Vets will also recommend vaccines for FIV (Feline Aids) and FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis), though they aren't usually required.

Himalayans should receive the same vaccines as any other breed of cat. A basic vaccine program should include feline combo (includes distemper), rabies, and FeLV (feline leukemia).

It doesn't particularly matter what kind of cat it is in reference to vaccinations. Generally all vaccinations go to all cats, such as rabies, FIV, Feline Leuk. , etc. You'd have to take the cat to the vet so they could explain which shots are needed.

All cats, regardless of breed, need to be vaccinated against distemper, FVR, feline calicivirus, and of course rabies. Though it is recommended to vaccinate every three years, if you have a show cat you should vaccinate more often, as he will be around so many other animals.

A Himalayan cat, which is jut the name of a breed, would need the same vaccinations as other cats, such as rabies,feline distemper, feline leukemia, just to mention a few. There might be special inoculations needed in your specific area of the U.S. A reputable veterinarian will be able to help with any other vaccination questions.

Core (meaning highly reccommended for preventive health) cat vaccines include Feline Panleukopenia Virus Vaccine (Feline Distemper), Feline Calicivirus, Rabies (often required by law), Rhinotracheitis (Feline Herpes Virus). These are just kitten shots. Your cat will need boosters ask your vet for more info.

Himlayan cat's should receive the standard vactions that all cats receive. These include heart warm, rabies. In addition to these standard vacations Himalayan cats are susceptible to Feline Luekemia and should be vacinated against that.
