Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Amber is beautiful. I would say yes. I use a guideline that I have read regarding vaccination guidelines. As long as you don't go 6 weeks in between boosters you are ok. Beyond 6 weeks you are going into a time period where a good immune response could be less likely and then another booster would be advised. So as long as you are under 6 weeks between vaccines you should be fine. Good luck with Amber.
