Hi there. Vaccinations are based on the puppy's age, not how many vaccines they've had previously - so it doesn't really matter whether your vet is "counting" the first ones or not. If it's been more than three weeks since her most recent vaccination, she would be due for a booster now. If she's about three months old, she will need a total of 1-2 additional boosters to finish out her series, since we want the last vaccine to be given at 16 weeks or older.
