Congratulations on adding Chiku to your family! Most dogs should receive two rounds of vaccines 3 weeks apart. Rabies should be given once a year (though in some areas it can be given every 3 years). You need to speak with a local veterinarian and ask about vaccine protocols since they are most familiar with disease prevalence in your area. I hope this helps.
