According to her, they can get heartworms even on medication (although rare). However, mosquitoes are horrible in Mississippi. We have them all year long. As to the rabies vaccine, I did find out that he will receive it this year, and then every 3 years after that. It was the other vaccines I was concerned about being given with the rabies vaccine. Again, I apologize for my craziness!
Okay if she is 1 then, yes, she needs her puppy boosters.

Main concern here is the Lepto - why are you getting it? Most people will not ever, ever get it unless it is truly epidemic in your specific area. The risks of the vaccine itself are usually greater than the risk of getting the disease. I would be asking your vet for prevalence and incidence in your area.

Rabies - get this shot on its own.

Distemper/Parvo - get 2 weeks apart from the Rabies.
