If she's 2, she should not need any of these shots yet. Rabies is (typically) given approx 4-6 months old, then after one year old, thereafter every 3 years. Each state has different laws regarding rabies.
However all of the other vaccines should be given no more than every 3 years. Unless if you decide to do lepto and bordatella (which are optional, more dependent on situation) they do need to be given yearly to work effectively but they are not "core" vaccines.
Jackson is 7 1/2 years old and hasn't had DHPP since his one year old shots. I'm going to boost his distemper vaccine one more time just to be "safe" this year but after that, I'll just be doing rabies every 3 years as per the law for the remainder of his life.
Oh and heartworm tests yearly ARE important and typically required to buy more heartworm medicine.
