The only time I ever gave my cats their rabies vaccine were when I had to bring them to the vet for some other reason. And then, the rabies was because it was required by law, she wasn't allowed to leave the vet's office without the rabies shot.
I added the distemper this year, because apparently it's more common in indoor cats in Florida than it is in Connecticut. And my current cat already has some weird upper respiratory issue (we're pretty sure it's environmental allergies), and distemper could cause a very quick, very unpleasant, and very lethal downward spiral for her if she caught it.
If her respiratory system was 100% perfect, I wouldn't have given her the distemper shot either. Just the rabies, and only because it's required by law.
