I wonder why? Are they changing the vaccine ingredients, are our cats more sensitive?<\/p>\n<p>Olivia became very lethargic after her kitten vaccines and when we got her one-year booster recently, she was barely awake for about 36 hours. Lily was so sensitive to vaccines\u2014she would be so sick\u2014that we stopped giving them to her at about age 2.
