Question Canine Influenza Vaccine

I had Zoey to the vet today. She seems stable . In a few months I need to titer her to find out which if any vaccines she must get for her protection.

The vet recommends the other dogs especially Buddy get the Canine Influenza vaccine since he has daily I interactions with other dogs. The yorkies generally have very limited interactions with other dogs. I guess there has been a recent outbreak. He said a major complication of it is secondary pneumonia which would be very difficult to treat if Zoey got it with her failing kidneys.

Should I get it for Buddy? The vet gave me literature. I never had to think about it before I got Buddy because the yorkies where never in contact with other dogs. Lucky rarely had contact with other dogs- Maybe 3 times in a year tops.
