Please help me. I know it's been done before, but I am very confused.

When I first got Lexi and brought her to the vet, I didn't even know about Lepto. Based on the information given by the vet tech. and the vet himself, I had them give the first Lepto. Then, I came home and read different posts about it here at YT.

I have done many searches on the Internet, and can't find a whole lot about it. Many sites said it should be given. Some said it shouldn't in all cases, but a lot of it was outdated.

How can I find out if Lepto is common in my area? And where can I find some good current information that I can share with my vet if I am pressured to get the next round? I want to make the best decision for Lexi, and feel confident in it.

I need to bring Lexi back for her 16-week shots so I can bring her out and about, so I am anxious to go, but I want to have all the info. I need before I make my appt.

BTW, Lexi threw up twice on the way home. I don't know if it's from the vaccine (the only one she got at that visit) or not.

Thank you for any help you can give!
