Different vets have different protocols.
Don't let them give the lepto vaccine unless it is a HUGE problem in your area. If they have to give it, have them give it separately. This vaccine has been known to kill Yorkies.
Corona vaccine isn't necessary in my opinion and can cause reactions.
It is best to space shots out, giving one each visit and waiting a week or two between them.
I don't like bordatella at all but most vets give it. Your dog could get pneumonia if she gets kennel cough which is a good reason to give the vaccine, besides it is very contagious. A good reason to not give the vaccine is your dog can get kennel cough from it. So it is a circle...
Rabies depends on your state law. I would hold off til 6 months if possible.
Giardia vaccine isn't necessary and Lyme's vaccine is rarely necessary and not too safe or effective.
The DHPP should be given three times 3-4 weeks apart. Some vets give it four which is really too many times. It should be started at 8-10 weeks.
