Don't feel bad for doing what you thought was right at the time. There is a lot of controversy on vaccines, and as you have seen, the vets don't agree with each other on the research. There are some cases where the risk of the vaccine outweighs the risk of catching the disease and vice versa. The best thing any pet owner can do is arm themselves with information and talk to their vets. Sometimes, they have a reason for doing things that needs to be taken in to consideration in your decision. Other times, they are doing it because it's the way they've always done it. In either case, you should know their thinking and they should listen to yours so that the two of you together can come up with what's best for your dog.
