I am not thrilled about giving Cody too many vaccines, because he is quite small, and delicate. So, I only try to give him what is really required like Rabies, Distemper, etc.

As long as there have been no reports about outbreaks, and your dogs are not coming into contact with many others at one time, like at a dog park/run, doggie day care, etc., I am not sure you do not need to worry about it.

Mine do training classes, big huge pet expos and other dog events. Last December and January was when it was getting the most attention and when they had gotten the vaccine before. If there is any chance they could come in contact with it I really have no choice but to vaccinate due to Callie’s low immune system. I’m a fan of vaccines but don’t want to give anything just to give it. I will have to talk to my vet.
