My dog's vaccine is overdue. Should he get a booster or start over?

Question

I have a pitbull/bull mastiv/boxer mix he was born on mother's day 2017. I got him as soon as he was ready and he has already had his first shot when I got him. It's now been a while and I wanted to know do I just continue with the second shot as normal? Do I start over? Or because of his age is it appropriate to just give him the 10 in 1? Please help. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 50 lbs

Since Bailey is older than 16 weeks old, he should just need a booster vaccine now, and then one more in 3 weeks. After that, he'll be good for a year :) He should also have a rabies vaccine. I would recommend having the shots given by a veterinarian, if you can. The ones purchased over the counter for home administration are often not effective, in my experience. You also won't be able to get a vaccination certificate to prove that he's been vaccinated unless the shots are administered by a vet.
