As I posted on the other thread, the breeder DID do this. She had a packet of informational papers on the subject, and the breeder went over each one and the puppy's health record with the buyer and explained which shots were needed. The buyer still took the puppy to the vet and did not ask about the vaccines the puppy was being given, and the vet gave her Corona. Even on the puppy's health record on the vaccine schedule was written in capital letters: PLEASE DO NOT GIVE LEPTO OR CORONA. The vet was given the record by the buyer and chose to ignore it.
ETA: After everything happened, the buyer did apologize to my friend (the breeder) and said that she knew it was her fault that she did not ask about the vaccines that were being given and should have listened to the breeder and trusted what she said. She did not expect to get another puppy but my friend was nice enough to give her one, but made sure that this time the buyer understood how important it is to speak up at the vet.
