A vaccine-associated sarcoma (VAS) or feline injection-site sarcoma (FISS) is a type of malignant tumor found in cats (and, often, dogs and ferrets) which has been linked to certain vaccines. VAS has become a concern for veterinarians and cat owners alike and has resulted in changes in recommended vaccine protocols.
Anaphylactic reactions are rarely fatal if treated in a timely fashion. If an allergic reaction occurs, future vaccinations may be amended by type or preceded by an allergy medicine. [7] Another uncommon reaction is the development of a vaccine-associated fibrosarcoma, a tumor at the injection site that develops months or years after ...
There is a vaccine for FHV-1 available (ATCvet code: QI06AA08 , plus various combination vaccines), but although it limits or weakens the severity of the viral shedding, it does not prevent infection with FVR. [16] Studies have shown a duration of immunity of this vaccine to be at least three years. [17]

There is a lack of evidence that FIP as such is transmissible from cat to cat, although it may explain rare mini-outbreaks of FIP. [8] However, the virus, FCov, is transmissible from cat to cat. A study on 59 FIP infected cats found that, unlike FCoV, feces from FIP infected cats were not infectious to laboratory cats via oronasal route. [9]
