Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! She isn’t too old! It’s best for her overall health to be appropriately vaccinated. If a long time has lapsed since her last DHPP then she will need two 3-4 weeks apart. The second is good for 1 years. And she can receive her Rabies. I hope this helps!
