Hi,

Yes. The need a yearly canine distemper booster shot and a yearly
rabies vaccine. The original distemper vaccinations when they were kits
should have been a series of three.

> I have 3 ferret who are 2-3 years old.

If they have not had shots every year your vet will likely give them a
set of two distemper shots at this point, then one booster every year
for the rest of their lives.

Does that make it clearer?

All the best,
