Where can I get affordable vaccines for my 5-month-old puppy?

Question

My puppy is 5 months old, I think and he is a chihuahua and dachshund mix, I think? I rehomed him 3 weeks ago. I was told I needed to provide his vaccinations. I’m on a tight budget and I live in Prince George’s County in the state of MD. Please tell me exactly what vaccinations does he absolutely need to have at his age that is the most cost effective and efficient and where can I get the best rate ? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 12 lbs

He will need to at-least get a parvo/distemper vaccine and a rabies vaccine. The core vaccines (Rabies, Distemper, Parvo, Adenovirus2, Parainfluenza) are normally given every three years after they are over a year old. The necessity for other vaccines (leptospirosis, Bordetella, etc.) will depend on the dog's environment and are given more frequently. For more information about the vaccines, I've put a link to the vaccination guidelines below. wsava.org/sites/default/files/WSAVA%20Owner%20Breeder%20Guidelines%2014%20October%202015%20FINAL.pdf As always, I recommend the vaccines be given as directed by your veterinarian to ensure the vaccine is given appropriately and to ensure adequate support is available in case of a vaccine reaction. Below is a link to a low-cost vaccine clinic in your area. http://www.humanerescuealliance.org/vaccination-clinic I hope that helps and all is well with Tippi.
