Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew if Nobivac-1 with expiration date of Feb 17, 2021 was still effective and safe to give my outdoor cats? Thank you.

While I'm not a vet, most medications are safe to give after the expiration date as long as they were stored properly (according to what is listed on the medication itself).
So, for example, the diabetes medication I give to my one cat needs to be refrigerated. The doctor said it would still be good after the expiration date as long as it wasn't sitting out at room temperature somewhere. If the bottle doesn't state the storage requirements, you can always check online.

Yes, almost ALL medicines are good long after the expiration date, if refrigerated even better. Most human medicines are good for two years after the expiration date!
