A possible vaccination schedule for the "average" dog is shown below.

Age Vaccination For Puppies

5 weeks Parvovirus: For puppies at high risk. Check with your veterinarian.

6 & 9 weeks Combination vaccine* without leptospirosis.
Coronavirus: where coronavirus is a concern.
 
12 weeks or older Rabies: Given by your local veterinarian (age at vaccination may vary according to local law).

12 & 15 weeks** Combination vaccine*
Leptospirosis: include leptospirosis in the combination vaccine where leptospirosis is a concern, or if traveling to an area where it occurs.

Coronavirus: where coronavirus is a concern.

Lyme: where Lyme disease is a concern or if traveling to an area where it occurs.

 
Adult Combination vaccine*

Leptospirosis: include leptospirosis in the combination vaccine where leptospirosis is a concern, or if traveling to an area where it occurs.

Coronavirus: where coronavirus is a concern.

Consult with your local veterinarian to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule for your dog. Recommendations vary depending on the age, breed, and health status of the dog, the potential of the dog to be exposed to the disease, the type of vaccine, whether the dog is used for breeding, and the geographical area where the dog lives or may visit.

*A combination vaccine, often called a 5-way vaccine, usually includes adenovirus cough and hepatitis, distemper, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. Some combination vaccines may also include leptospirosis (7-way vaccines) and/or coronavirus. The inclusion of either canine adenovirus-1 or adenovirus-2 in a vaccine will protect against both adenovirus cough and hepatitis; adenovirus-2 is highly preferred.

**Some puppies may need additional vaccinations against parvovirus after 15 weeks of age. Consult with your local veterinarian.

Bordetella and parainfluenza: For complete canine cough protection, we recommend Intra-Trac III ADT. For dogs that are shown, in field trials, or are boarded, we recommend vaccination every six months with Intra-Trac III ADT.
 

Vaccines...What Does My Dog Need?
 
We recommend that you take your puppy or adult dog to a veterinarian for an initial exam. During that exam, you might ask what diseases your dog should be vaccinated for. Some criteria your veterinarian may use include:

If your dog will have little contact with other dogs or wildlife, your veterinarian will probably suggest your dog receive a simple 5-way vaccine.

If your dog will be exposed to other dogs or animals, your veterinarian may suggest your dog receive a 7-way vaccine.

Your veterinarian will be aware if Canine Coronavirus is a problem in your area, in which case, she may recommend either a 5-way or a 7-way with Coronavirus vaccine.

If you live in an area where there are ticks, your veterinarian may suggest a Lyme vaccine. Topical flea and tick prevention will help further protect your dog from ticks.

If your dog will be spending time in kennels or around other dogs for any length of time, or you will be traveling with your dog, your veterinarian may suggest a Bordetella vaccine, which protects against certain types of tracheobronchitis, formerly known as kennel cough.

Once your veterinarian has performed the initial physical exam, you may decide to administer the vaccines yourself. But remember, your dog needs a health check-up at least annually, and by law, the rabies vaccine must be administered by a licensed veterinarian.
