Here is a link to an article about Canine Influenza in Arkansas:

It is still not a legally required vaccine, but groomers and boarding facilities can require the vaccine for dogs staying at their facilities. From the article:

Many vets, myself included, use the recommendations set out by AAHA. Core vaccines for healthy dogs include Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus type 2. For non-core vaccines, you must decide whether the pet is at risk and vaccinate those who are. Social dogs including those who are boarded, groomed, group trained, or group walked are more at risk of infectious disease. According to AAHA, social dogs (or dogs who travel) should be vaccinated against Bordetella, adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza virus, and both types of canine influenza (H3N2 and H3N8). Leptospirosis is a very serious disease that can infect dogs and humans. At-risk dogs should be vaccinated for this as well.
