That's fine, but there is doubt as to how effective the Lymes vaccine really is, whether or not it works as intended.
I am not so much disagreeing with which vaccines you want her to have, but the timetable the vet wants to give them to her.
When a dog/puppy gets vaccinated, it takes that vaccine about one month for it to do it's job and make antibodies against that particular disease, and leave the body.
Vaccines challenge the pup's immune system, and Yorkies are small dogs, and have small immune systems. Giving vaccines one month apart allows the immune system to make an appropriate amout of antibodies for that particular disease.
When vaccines are given together, the challenge to the pup's immune system is doubled at least, so their bodies can only make about half of the amount of each antibody for each disease it was vaccinated against.
Also, if the puppy were to have a reaction, the vet would not be able to tell which vaccine the pup had the reaction to.
On your pup's vaccine schedule, she will have 3 vaccines in her system, all trying to produce antibodies against different diseases. This can make her very sick, and can put her immune system on overload. When that happens, the immune system goes crazy, and may turn on itself, and start making antibodies against itself. This is a very dangerous situatuion, and can be extremely expensive to diagnose and treat. Dogs that get this and are treated do not always survive.
