Ideally, wait as long as possible so she has time to grow as long as you think you can keep her protected until it is given.

However, state laws say otherwise. You'd have to look up your laws, but it will likely be required by either 4 or 6 months. Michigan is 4 (or 16 weeks). Some vets will put it off and tell you not to worry about it for now. Others insist on following the law exactly.
