Ring your vet and ask what vaccination options they offer and how much. Not much point expecting an exact answer on here because we don't know where you live - your vet can give you exact advice!
At a minimum, get the cat flu vaccination and enteritis is available. If your cat really is going to be 100% indoors, feline leukaemia, rabies and FIV may not be necessary
Just be aware that even indoor kitties need to have flea treatment - animals are not safe from fleas inside, fleas like to come in houses too!
Indoor cats should also still be neutered - this is to prevent cancers, so even if they're not going to come into contact with other animals it still needs to be done for their health.

While a pets lifespan increasing by being indoors, it is important that he have the same shots you would give an outdoor cat. Simply because cats are quick and sneaky, and could manage to get out of the house. Everything your kitten will need should be done in one shot by combining all the medicines, rabies is usually seperate. He will have to go back in a few weeks for a booster. Your vet will know what is best for you and your cat and what will suit your needs as a pet owner. I hope this helps.

I agree, the vet will tell you everything, but some include:
rabies
worms
FLV/FIV
And remember to get your cat neutered, it's very important.

first you should go to vet and tell them that he/she hasnt gotten any shots yet and you would like to update them..i know some of them are temper shots, and vaccines.It's important that you get them so make sure you ask is your vwt doesnt say anything.
