Corona vaccine is NOT recommended for ANY dog by the AAHA/AVMA protocol nor by all 27 vet schools.
Coronavirus is not prevelant enough to warrent vacciantion.Coronavirus also doesn't make a dog sick. Puppies under 6 weeks of age can get it but it resolves itself within 24 hours. Puppies over 6 weeks are immune to it no matter if they are vaccinated for it or not. The vaccine can't be tested since dogs over 6 weeks simply don't get it and the companies can't make them contract the disease because of immunity already aquired.
I suggest that you check out the AAHA site as well as Dr. Jean Dodds and Dr. Ron Schultz sites and if possible get the November 2006 issue of The Whole Dog Journal for further insight into vaccinations.

You can contact your vet to ask if coronavirus is common in your own area. Vets didn't recommend the vaccination where I used to live, unless the dog was a traveler, out of the area..(mine were all vaccinated, because of dog shows) Corna is spread mostly through the carrier's urine, so it is always wise to keep your dog from sniffing dog urine..
The virus is very hard to tell from Parvo, when a puppy has it..same symptoms initially, and just as deadly.

The vaccination that most dogs receive is commonly known as the DHLPPC which stands for Distemper, Hepatitus, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, and Coronavirus.
Regarding Coronavirus...
"The incubation period is only one to three days.[4] The disease is highly contagious and is spread through the feces of infected dogs, who usually shed the virus for six to nine days, but sometimes for six months following infection.[3] Symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, and anorexia. Diagnosis is through detection of virus particles in the feces. Treatment usually only requires medication for diarrhea, but more severely affected dogs may require intravenous fluids for dehydration. Fatalities are rare. The virus is destroyed by most available disinfectants. There is a vaccine available, and it is usually given to puppies, who are more susceptible to canine coronavirus, and to dogs that have a high risk of exposure, such as show dogs.[4]"
Some vets choose not to vaccinate dogs against Coronavirus or Leptospirosis if they feel the dog will not be in situations where he or she will be greatly exposed to either disease. If you feel that your dog will be exposed to areas where other dog's fecal matter may be present (dog parks, dog shows, PetSmart or Petco, etc) or to areas where there is a lot of standing water (which is how Leptospirosis is transmitted), then be sure to check with your vet to make sure your animal is receiving the necessary vaccinations.

Vaccinates for coronavirus. It is typically included in the distemper vaccine when given (the abbreviation you may have seen is DHPP-C), but the coronavirus portion of the vaccine is usually only administered to puppies as they are the population who is most susceptible to it, at least in the area where I live.
Coronavirus causes diarrhea.
