With changing requirements, owners should check the info for their individual state, available online. Maryland does only require a Rabies vaccine and that it is kept current. It would be better to also check the current county legislation as that may differ from state law.

And I just checked again tonight, Rabies and distemper are required for dogs in Washington, DC. (By 4 months of age).

I never thought about different counties/city’s have different requirements then the state. Do you know where we can check that?

You have to google each county and state separately. For instance, if you google Champaign County Illinois Animal Vaccination, this is the first link you find: Animal Control | Champaign County Illinois. I imagine that it works similarly throughout the US.

Here's the link for Washington, DC: https://doh.dc.gov/service/vaccination-bites-and-rabies. It is indeed both rabies and distemper.

Interesting on D.C. requiring both! I did not know that.

In the area I live in a lot of the groomers, dog classes and boarding places have vaccination requirements.

They do here too. Every time I sign up for a training class I have to show proof of vaccines. If we go into the grooming shop they have to be up to date as well.
