My vet says my puppy needs 5 vaccinations. Is that too many?

The vaccines should be based on age. In the united states we vaccinate dogs until they are 16 weeks of age. We also vaccinate for distemper/parvo, lepto, bordetella and rabies. I am not sure if you mean 5 different vaccines or 5 boosters of the same vaccine. It depends on the age you started the vaccines. for example a 6 week old puppy will get a distemper/parvo vaccine--than get boosters at 9 weeks, 12 weeks, and 15 weeks-- so that puppy will have 4 vaccines
