The vaccine protocol doesn't sound correct to me.
Seven weeks was too early to start and she will need at least two more sets of distemper, hepatitis and parvo. It sounds like the third set would just be distemper? That wouldn't be right...
As for bordatella, there are benefits and risks just like with any vaccine.
It may not be as dangerous as the rabies vaccine but there can still be side effects. The intranasal can cause the disease. We don't do non-core vaccines with Ellie really (except maybe parainfluenza) and she is fine. There are many opinions and you have to do what you're comfortable with. I would say that in order to make sure your dog is protected from the strains that can be protected against, the vaccine should be given more than once yearly and I just feel like we are starting to talk about giving vaccines way too often and way too many....
Never give the rabies on the same day as another vaccine.
I would wait a week or two after other ones are given and wait as long as possible to give it.
