You should most definitely read up on the accepted and current vaccine schedule for dogs here:
Annual distemper shots are NOT needed, and haven't been for a very long time now. You should definitely be asking why your vet is so behind the times and still giving them. I would be finding a new vet, if it were me...to be totally honest.
Btw, there is no such thing as a "3 yr distemper" -- it's all the exact same shot. The difference is that your vet is not following the recommended vaccine schedule by the AAHA. Usually, a vet chooses to not follow it so that they can make more $ off of more frequent vaccines.
Next time your kiddo gets ANY vaccine, I'd be giving Benadryl about 30mins prior.
