Is it safe for my dog to get multiple vaccines and a flu shot booster?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Female | spayed | 10 years and 8 months old | 37 lbs

My 35 Lbs dog is up for some vaccine renewals. She's needing: Rabies - Due 6-30-19 Bordettella - Over Due Exp. 2-18-19 CIV - Due 4-15-19 Can these shots all be done at once without health risks? Does the CIV (dog flu shot) need another full round of initial shot + booster? Or can she just get the booster ? Thank You

These can all be given on the same day. She may be sore at the sites of injection and possibly a bit lethargic for 24-36 hours afterwards. If she has had the Canine Flu vaccine in the past, she just needs 1 booster injection. If she has never had it, she needs 1 dose now and a second dose no less than 2 weeks but no more than 4 weeks after the first. It then becomes a yearly vaccine.
