I talked to my vet about this today when Tenchi, Adric, and Pertwee had
their distemper shots. He said there was a recent study claiming that
the immune system response was reduced if the shots were not given two
weeks apart. Between that and the desire to know which shot causes a
reaction, I really think the two week wait is a very good idea.
All the best,
