You can still get Meningitis after receiving the vaccination, but I highly suggest you get the vaccine. If you do not like shots, your doctor can numb the injection site with local anesthesia before inserting the needle.

How can you kill the parvovirus in cats?

Generally you must wait and hope that the cat's own immune system gets rid of it, once the cat has become infected. A parvo shot, like human vaccinations, primes the cat's immune system to fight parvo by introducing weakened viruses for it to practice on. Once the cat has become infected, it is useless to try and vaccinate it. There are no known medicines that will directly attack viruses, except interferon, which is dreadfully expensive.
