Hmm, what flu strain did she get?

Since she was vaccinated at 6, 9, and 12 weeks and then again at 20, there could be problems with that. They need to be given 2-4 weeks apart until at least 16 or so weeks. So the fact that she was stopped at 12 and then booster 8 weeks later...could be a concern. She is most likely covered though. Why not just titer to make sure?

It's best to get this worked out with your vet now because they can refuse to hospitalize her (for spay, etc.) if you don't vaccinate exactly how they want you to. That would be a good reason to switch vets, but it's best to sort it all out in case an emergency comes up.

ETA: Unless it was recombinant distempter and a high titer parvo...then it would be yet another story.
