Hello. It is VERY important to get your puppy vaccinated now. Then have her vaccinations boostered in 3-4 weeks. 2 weeks after the second boosters, your puppy will be well protected against the majority of diseases that affect puppies & young dogs. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
