Here in Virginia, puppies get three rounds of shots. The first at 8 weeks, second at 12 and the last at 16 weeks. The first two sets consists of a combo shot of the following: Distemper, Adenovirus 2, Parainfluenza and Parvovirus. The last vaccination at 16 weeks consists of all of the above with an addition of rabbies and if your furbaby goes to doggie daycare or gets boreded, they will also get Bordetella. After that, the furbabies are done until one year later. At which time they receive their annuals of DAPP and a three year rabbies. I got lucky and found a Vet that does not believe in over vaccinating and will allow for bi-annual or even tri-annual vaccinations thereafter on a case by case basis. Hope this answers your question. And, I'd most certainly look into another "caring and sensitive" Vet for your furbaby.
