I work for a vet who raises yorkies--she gives them the vaccine with the lepto starting at 6 weeks and we haven't had any in the 5 years I've worked there have a reaction. I have seen more reactions in dachsunds. The Dr also said the newer lepto vaccines are safer then the old ones and she feels like we've seen less reactions in all breeds. If you are concerned about it--break up the vaccines(administer one at a time, spaced a week or 2 apart), and have the Dr give a benedryl shot beforehand.
