Can my dog's distemper/parvo vaccine truly last for three years?

Question

Read somewhere that DHapp 3 can be safely vaccinated every three years. Is this true? He goes to dog parks a 1-2 times a week. He has a good immune system. Parents just split up and his vaccinations time is at the end of April. According to vet records it was given as a puppy then at three years old. I would like to get him vaccinated but my mom is saying she can’t afford it due to the cost of paperwork and having just spayed our puppy and buying the puppy (she was 1000 dollars). Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 3 years and 8 months old | 61 lbs

Yes, there are some distemper/parvo vaccines that can safely be given every 3 years. Puppies though need a series of vaccines to help build their immune system. Adults that have previously had vaccines can receive this vaccine every 3 years IF that is the type of vaccine that was given. I would contact the vet where he received the last vaccine and ask them whether they give the 1 or 3 year distemper/parvo vaccine to just make sure. I hope this helps!
