Please don't blindly just go in and vaccinate. Educate yourself. Read Dr. Dodds protocol. Ask your vet how many cases of lepto or corona he has treated.

There have been some very good studies on overvaccinating and duration of immunity. Some studies are showing LIFETIME IMMUNITY after the puppy series.

Duration of Immunity

Vaccines are very hard on a dog's immune system. They have been linked to everything from allergies to epilepsy. There is NO reason to give yearly vaccinations. Did you realize that the same vaccine is given to a 2 pound dog that is given to a 150 pound mastiff? Does that make sense to you?

I would never give a combo vaccine and rabies in the same visit. These shots should be separated by at least 2 weeks.

Read Ellie Mays post again. Excellent information there!

Here's some links to help you get started on your research -
