I would definitely not do every vaccination every year. Some vets will recommend yearly vaccinations, but it is completely unnecessary. Bordatella is the only one that needs to be given anywhere near that frequently in order to work.

Rabies every three years, DHPP every three years, and Bordatella once a year is a perfectly reasonable protocol. Lepto and Corona vaccines are debatable, and lepto vaccines in particular can sometimes be dangerous. Vaccinating against Lymes disease may be worthwhile depending on where you live-- when I lived in southwest Michigan, we saw a LOT of Lymes cases.

It's important to decide for yourself what vaccines are important for your dog depending on her lifestyle and where you live. A dog that goes to the dog park every week, hikes in the woods, and takes obedience classes with unfamiliar dogs is going to be at a lot more risk than a dog that usually only goes in her own yard and spends most of her time with her owners. Trying to follow a vaccination protocol that is designed for one dog would not be the best thing for the other dog.
