Hi
 
Congratulations regarding your new rescues!  Regarding their vaccinations,
consult the AFA Vaccination Protocols at
http://www.ferret.org/vaccination.htm
 
It states-
 
Canine Distemper:
Ferrets over 14 weeks of age with no, unknown, or outdated vaccination
history: Give a series of two vaccines given at 2 weeks apart, then
annually on the anniversary of the last booster.
 
Rabies:
Ferrets over 14 weeks of age with no, unknown, or outdated vaccination
history: Give 1 ml SQ and then annually.
 
It is a very good idea to separate the rabies and canine distemper
vaccinations by a week or two to minimize the load on the ferret's immune
system.  In the event of a vaccine reaction, you will also be able to
isolate the cause of the problem.
 
Happy ferreting!
