I believe you have to weigh the risks and benefits of the vaccine, assess your pup's lifestyle (exposure potential), and consider the number of cases in your region. These are things to discuss with your vet.

I have chosen not to have my boys vaccinated for it, but lepto is very much on my mind when we are out walking and the boys are sniffing where carriers of lepto may have been.

The lepto vaccine, like others, covers a limited number of strains of the dreadful disease. A vaccination does not fully protect from all lepto. My other complaint is that I have read varying opinions on how often it should be given to be effective. Many sources say more often than once a year.
