Missed Booster shot

Question
I took my outdoor cat to get a rabies shot and he also got the feline leukemia shot and the other common shot (I forgot what it was) since we were there.  But as I was leaving, they said I needed to bring him back 2 weeks later for the booster.  I couldn't afford to so I didn't.  Can I take him back now that it's been 2 months and get the booster or do I need to do the whole thing all over again?  Also, does the rabies vaccination require a booster?  thanks.

Answer
I don't know what kind of booster he would need if he is over a year old. Each vaccination is for one year except the rabies which you can get a three year of. You should just call them and ask them what it is.Rabies is two vaccinations one year apart then you get the three year ones. There is no two week later booster for that.

Most likely he is protected.
