I haven't read up on the most common strains seen in hospitals in quite a while, but my guess is that the larger hospitals and emergency clinics are seeing the cases. They'll know what strains are in your area and whether vaccination makes sense. For me, when I looked at our area, the disease they were seeing would not have been covered by the lepto vaccine. i would get more info from your local sources and make the most informed decision you can. My two older dogs had the lepto vaccine every year until about age 8 without any reactions. But I stopped doing it as I said because of the lack of efficacy of it in our area.
