The puppies should've started getting their vaccinations at 8 weeks old. They're running behind on that, please get them vaccinated ASAP.

As for spay/neuter, they can be done now, depending on the breed. Some vets want you to wait until 6 months old, but rescues & shelters get their puppies altered at 9 weeks, and they're perfectly healthy (doesn't stunt growth or any other nonsense).

The optimum time for getting a dog vaccinated is at 8 weeks, when the immunity derived from their mothers has started to wane. Never to late tho, so get them to to the vets to get them started!

Castration is done from 5 and a half months onwards in usual cases.

They should have already had two sets of vaccinations,
1st set at 8-9 weeks
2nd set at 12 -14 weeks
3rd & final set at 16 -18 weeks

Rabies at 20 weeks or older.

Neutering is usually done around 6 months old.

At 4 months old, your pups should already have both their first and second set of puppy shots - as a matter of fact, pups should not be exposed to the outside prior to having those as the shots help build their immune system and keep them from getting sick.

As far as neutering is concerned, there are many veterinarians who will perform pediatric spay or neuter surgeries, some on dogs as young as 8 to 10 weeks old. There's some discussion that it's better for the dog to grow and mature prior to being neutered, particularly if it is a large breed dog. In large breeds, early neutering does make a difference in their growth. (German Shepherds neutered at an early age, for example, tend to turn out very "leggy".) It's recommended that, with a large breed dog, you wait until 10 month to a year old before neutering.
