Congrats on the new dog! She should be seen by a vet for a wellness exam, and will definitely need her distemper/parvovirus combo vaccine (Dhpp) and her rabies vaccine. I also recommend a heartworm test and fecal test to check for parasites, and get her started on both heartworm prevention and a good flea&tick prevention. There are a number of other vaccines that your vet can discuss with you, that we'll give according to what's in the region and what Sosa might get exposed to. As far as cost, that varies by region and vet clinic but you can ask your vet for an estimate on anything they recommend. Hope this helps.
