Once the outbreak is over everything must be sterilized. These kittens are to young to have shots..they say most kittens are exposed in their first year of life.
Also if you've ever seen a cat suffer with an upper respiratory--it's another tough thing to watch--The FVRCP shot is a damn good investment.

I have seen this while working at the SPCA and such with the kittens as well as other shelters, it's freaking horrible.
