There is only one USDA approved rabies vaccine for ferrets: Imrab 3

The most recently developed canine distemper vaccine tested in
ferrets -- and which apparently has a greatly reduced risk of
reaction -- is Merial Purevax CD vaccine for ferrets. Thnis is how
we are going for our next set of vax.

The two older CD vaccines folks also use are Fervac D and Galaxy D.

You and the person know about pre-treating with Benedryl, separating
the shots, and waiting no fewer than 30 minutes after the shot in
case of a reaction, right?
