6-8 weeks First vaccination Distemper, hepatitis, and parvovirus
10-12 weeks Booster vaccination Distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza, and bordetella.
14-16 weeks Final puppy vaccination Distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza, and bordetella.
Depending on the brand used, puppies may not require parainfluenza and bordetella at this age
Every year after Annual boosters Your adult dog will require yearly vaccination boosters for the rest of their life to remain immune from these diseases
Only once your puppy has completed the full 14-16 week vaccination schedule, and you are certain they are protected and healthy, should you take them for walks in public parks or introduce them to other dogs.
Remember that vaccines take 1-2 weeks after the final injection to fully protect your pet.
All vaccinated puppies 8 – 16 weeks old are eligible

Puppies should receive their first vaccinations at six to eight weeks of age.
The age your puppy gets shots will depend on the advice of your veterinarian.
A vaccination schedule (or puppy shot schedule) can start as early as 6-8 weeks of age.
A typical puppy vaccination schedule is their first vaccination at 6-8 weeks for DHP.
Second vaccine at 9-11 weeks for DHP.
Third vaccine at 12-15 weeks for DHP.
Fourth vaccine at 16-20 weeks for DHP.
Rabies vaccine at 3-6 months with a booster after a year then every one to three years.
