Puppies are typically vaccinated at eight and ten weeks.
Puppies can be vaccinated as early as four-six weeks.
The second dose is usually given two to four weeks later.
Your puppy will then require a booster vaccination at 6 or 12 months.
When you first get your puppy, the first thing you should do is register with your local vets who will be able to carry out the vaccinations your puppy needs.
Your vet is always the best source of information on the vaccinations and treatments your new puppy will need.
Speak to your vet about the best timings.

At eight weeks old – a puppy should have their first set of vaccinations. In certain cases we can vaccinate puppies as young as 6 weeks. At 12 weeks old – a puppy’s second set of vaccinations are needed to boost their immune system. A puppy will needs a ‘booster’ vaccination 12 months after the his second vaccination and every year thereafter. When you get your puppy, one of the first things you should do is register them with us so we can carry out the vaccinations your puppy needs. You should keep your puppy inside and away for unvaccinated dogs until it has been fully vaccinated.

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.
