DA2HPP is the acronym for: Distemper, Advenovirus 2 & Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, These are the viruses your dog would be vaccinated against. There is no vaccination for fleas and ticks. You can get spot ons for this such as Advantix, Advantage II, or a Bravecto or Nexgard chew. There are also collars like Seresto available.
