The distemper vaccine your vet printed there states that it guards against the corona virus. I would not get this vaccine. Ask for one without it. remember no lepto or corona unless absolutely necessary. With the distemper vaccine if you want to continue getting it, i would ask that only half be given. Small yorkies do not need the entire 1ml of the vaccine. I personally do not even give this vaccine anymore. Morgan is 3 and only had her puppy vaccines and her 1 year vaccines. No more after that. She doesn't need them. Its been shown that the antibioties from these vaccines stay in the body much much longer then 1 year so vaccines DO NOT have to be given every year. Some year get titers done to check the antibody levels instead of getting vaccines, some don't get vaccines at all besides rabies, and some choose to do vaccines every few years like rabies instead of every year. It all depends on what you are comfortable with giving your dog.

I'd read up on it so if your vet tries to talk you into doing something you don't want to you have reason to back it up.
THank you SO much for the info.!
