If you give one vaccine every two weeks until they are 16-18 weeks, then that should be adequate. The L4 stands for Leptospirosis, which should only be given twice 2-4 weeks apart. If you give it more than that, then you risk a vaccine reaction. After the second vaccine, you should give just the vanguard 5 without the L4. Here is a link to vaccine guidelines that gives more information: http://www.wsava.org/guidelines/vaccination-guidelines
