sorry, Carolc, i didn't get the notification for a reply!
herpes is also rhinotrachitis, aka rhinovirus.
in some cases it prevents infection in some cases it limits symptoms. the vaccine does make a big difference!
and, as critters said, it is part of the usual vaccine cocktail you get at the vet or in combo vacc's. if you get the 3-way vacc it is for distemper (panleuk), calicivirus and herpes (rhino). the 4-way vacc has clamydia added and shold not be given to kittens under 7 weeks.
hope that helps!
