Can Vaccinations Really Cause Cancer in Cats???

You may have heard the saying, 'A cat is not a small dog.' Cats and dogs differ fundamentally in their behavior, anatomy, and physiology. Today, many products—including vaccines—are developed specifically for cats because their bodies are far more sensitive to injections than dogs. Therefore, choosing high-efficiency and high-safety vaccines is paramount. 

While vaccines are essential for stimulating immunity, safety is a major concern. Feline skin is more prone to inflammation at injection sites compared to dogs. In some cases, chronic inflammation can lead to a type of cancer known as Feline Injection Site Sarcoma (FISS). This aggressive skin and soft tissue cancer is known for its long latency period and rapid growth once it appears.

Common Causes of FISS

Adjuvanted Vaccines : Studies suggest FISS is often linked to 'adjuvanted killed vaccines' (such as Rabies or FeLV vaccines). Adjuvants are substances added to boost the immune response but can cause significant inflammation under the skin.

Other Injections : Certain medications. Non-absorbable Sutures. Microchip Implants.

How to Prevent FISS : Treating FISS is complex and difficult, so prevention is the best strategy. Opting for Non-adjuvanted vaccines significantly reduces the risk of post-injection inflammation.

At Thonglor Pet Hospital, we offer advanced vaccine options for

• Rabies 
• Feline Leukemia (FeLV) 
• Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis
• Calicivirus
• Panleukopenia (FVRCP)

These vaccines are not only non-adjuvanted but also utilize Recombinant-vectored technology. This innovation effectively stimulates the immune system while ensuring maximum safety and minimizing the risk of FISS.
