6 to 7 weeks of age: Give first combination vaccine. (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, Coronavirus)
9 weeks of age: Give second combination vaccine.
12 weeks of age: Give the third combination injection and possibly a LYME Vaccine inoculation. Generally a LYME vaccine is then repeated two weeks later, then once a year.
16 weeks of age: Give the last combination vaccine.
12 to 16 weeks of age: Rabies vaccine is given. (Local and State laws apply regarding Rabies vaccine since this can be a human disease, too. Your veterinarian will tell you the proper time intervals for booster vaccines for Rabies.)
Special considerations: Many veterinarians believe some breeds such as Rottweilers and Dobermans should have at least two Parvo vaccines with the last one being given at 20 weeks of age.

The vaccination protocol is as follows:(this is the protocol recommended by the AAHA/AVMA, a major drug company and all 27 vet schools)
8-9 weeks dsitemper/parvo/canine hepatits/adenovirus-2
12-14 weeks repeat
16 -18 weeks repeat 3rd and final of the series
20 weeks or older rabies
after this no more vaccinations for a year, then a booster..after this booster no more for 3 years
lepto, parainfluenza, lymes and kennel cough (bordatella) are not recommended for all dogs only those at high risk of exposure
coronavirus,adenovirus-1 and giardia should NOT be given to any dog/puppy.
Visit the AAHA site, Dr. Jean Dodds site, Dr Ron Schultz site for the current vaccination protocol
Also get a copy of the November 2006 issue of The Whole Dog Journal. It has a wonderful article on vaccinating.

Here is a typical vaccine schedule for puppies:
8 weeks: DHLPP/C #1 (distemper), Bordatella (kennel cough), Lyme #1 (depending upon which state you live in!)
12 weeks: DHLPP/C #2, Lyme #2, Rabies 1 year
16 weeks: DHLPP/C #3
NOTE: Distemper can be done safely at 6 weeks of age, but please discuss this with your Vet. Also, Rabies is the ONLY vaccine mandated by the law, the rest are optional.
Hope this helps!!!

I don't know the schedule exactly, but my vet says that all the shots (including rabies) are supposed to be finished by 4 months of age.

I think once you have done all the initial ones (which should have been taken care of by the breeder or yourself in the puppy's first 12 weeks) you then only need to get her an annual booster shot of a vaccine such as C5, which protects againsts common canine ailments like kennel cough. And don't forget monthly worming and flea treatments (given orally or topically).

Vaccines are dangerous drugs/chemicals that people seem to think are so safe just because they are passed out like candy. Vaccines are thought by many leading scientist in the field to now be the number one cause of death in cats and dogs. They wreak havoc on the immune system and cause many life time adverse effects ranging from skin conditons and allergies to diabetes, to seizures, to behavior disorders, to digestive disorders and cancer and death. Do your homework and skip all the political BS and the injustice of vets and drug makers pushing harmful drugs onto your dog.
I suggest you read the book by Catherine O'Driscoll called 'Shock To The System' and ignore all the vets and vet techs and vet tech students who really don't know what they are talking about. The science is in. It's NOT a controversial outcome of the results but rather a controversial subject of whether or not to push the vaccines anyway. It's no secret that the drug makers and the American Vet Association made the new protocols for every 3 years so that vets and drug companies wouldn't lose money. That FACT is written right in the report that says the vaccines last for 7 years. I call it a crime that they are pushed onto pet owners at the will of individual vets so that someone else can make their house payments.

There is no valid reason for giving the same vaccine over and over again to a puppy. The reason this practice was started is because puppies receive maternal antibodies from their dam while they are nursing, and these gradually wear off after weaning. But they wear off at different rates in different puppies, so we have no way of knowing for sure when they have worn off....it can be anywhere from 5-16 weeks, although the average is 6-10. Giving a puppy shots while it still has maternal antibodies is useless, as the maternal antibodies will "block" the vaccine and prevent immunity from being established. So vets in their infinite wisdom decided to give puppies vaccines over and over again so that eventually one will be given after the maternal antibodies are worn down. But since we don't know when they were down, it could leave pups unprotected for several weeks, which is why vets will tell you to keep your young puppy off the streets and away from strange dogs until it "has had all its shots" at 12-16 weeks.
Do your research and for those that thumbs down this answer... Ignorance is bliss.
