What puppy shots does my 13-week Boston Terrier need? Can I skip any?

Question

I have a 13 week old purebred Boston Terrier, so her shots are current for the 12 week ones in the series. I’m seeing different series charts on different websites, so my question is what are the remaining series left and their time frames until the end of the year ? And is there any of the Series left that's not really necessarily that I could skip that would avoid me the cost ?

Generally speaking, the reason vaccinations are given in series like this is because the maternal antibodies that the mother passed to the puppies in her milk will shorten the effectiveness of the vaccination. There should be only one series remaining, the final Distemper/parvo combination vaccination and the rabies vaccination. The next vaccinations will then be in one year, with some vaccinations able to be given less frequently, depending on local laws. I recommend getting all the vaccinations completed to ensure your puppy gets the maximum protection and benefit from the vaccination series.
