Congrats on your puppy! Initially, Brady should receive the distemper/parvovirus vaccine (the "5 way" listed above) every 3-4 weeks until he is 16 weeks old, then booster it at 1 year. He needs his rabies vaccine given between 12-16 weeks, which should also be boostered at a year. Those are the "core" vaccines. There are a number of other vaccines that are a bit more variable and the recommendation will be depending on his risk and lifestyle, so you should chat with your vet about those, such as bordetella, lyme, canine influenza, and leptospirosis. Hope this helps!
