My dog is overdue for shots. What basic vaccinations does he need?

Question

I have a 4 year old jack Russell, he needs shots as the family I got him from hasn't gotten them done in a while. What are the basic shots he needs. Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Male | neutered | 4 years old | 15 lbs

These are what I would suggest as "required": 1. Rabies 2. Distemper/Parvo 5 -way 3. Leptospirosis Booster the #2 and #3 three to four weeks after the initial vaccination; rabies does not require a booster. Then continue with them all once yearly. If you plan to take him to any boarding facilities, dog training, grooming, dog parks, etc then you should also get the Bordetella vaccination (kennel cough). If you are in a Lyme disease endemic area you should probably do that vaccine as well. If you do all of these I suggest you split them up over a few weeks time and not do them all at once.
