The reason I say not to give the rabies on the same day as any other vaccine is Dr. Schultz out of Wisconsin has expressed concerns over doing it that way (unless it is just an internet rumor, but I couldn't tell you for sure). The problem is that rabies causes so many reactions (well, that's what the studies show anyway) and it is just too much to give anything else.

Corona isn't without problems, so I would try to avoid it. That said, if you can't, you can't.

If she had her puppy shots and one year boosters, she doesn't even need DAPP this year (unless you take her somewhere where it's required annually).

Those heartworm and flea choices aren't bad. Heartgard Plus is just fine as is Frontline Plus (I mean, not that it's great to be using the stuff, but I see you're in FL, so...). I personally would not use Revolution.

I like and use Interceptor, but if I was given Heartgard, I wouldn't have a problem using it. Sentinel is fine, but the lufeneron is just a chitin inhibitor, so the fleas can't reproduce. If you want to kill the adults, something else would be better (or you cold get Advantage or something and use that with Sentinel). I know many people are loving Comfortis right now and it's sometimes the only thing that works, but I (JMO) would not use it unless absolutely necessary. It is very new and there are some reports circulating online about it causing liver problems in otherwise healthy dogs. I'd give this one a few years...
