Didn't mean to confuse --- for me, I try to avoid the vaccine as much as possible, due to what I've read about it. Also, we don't go to dog parks or grooming salons. Here is what the AAHA says, which helps with perspective:

"Noncore vaccinations should be administered whenever the risk of the disease is significant enough to override any risk of vaccination. For example, kennel cough vaccine may need to be administered up to every six months in a dog repeatedly being kenneled or exposed to groups of dogs at grooming salons or dog shows."

So, in your case, it's probably worth the risk of vaccination, ya know?
