Because this ferret was vaccinated with an unproven vaccine, I would
consider him to be unvaccinated.
Per the AFA's guidelines:
Question: My ferret is over 14 weeks of age with no, unknown, or outdated
vaccination history. When should he receive his canine distemper
vaccinations?
Answer: Give a series of two vaccines given at 2 weeks apart, then annually
on the anniversary of the last booster.
Hope that clarifies my reasoning,
