I don't think it's worth the risk to not take her to a regular vet. Don't underestimate the importance of a yearly, hands on vet exam. Many problems are discovered on examination and it never hurts to have a second pair of experienced eyes to check your dog over once a year.. even when vaccines are not due. And just a reminder, do not vaccinate any dog that has an elevated temperature.

With a Yorkie that is prone to vaccine reactions, I would choose a full service vet, one that is familiar with my dog, to get any vaccines. Also, be sure she only gets her Rabies, no other vaccs that day. If she needs a DHPP booster, shedule that for a month later, both vaccs work better that way and it is safer for the dog. The vet should be willing to do the DHPP a month later for the cost of the vaccine only.

I would also just make the trip to the new vet you intend to start using after your move.
