I've learned my lesson with vaccinating one of my chi's and I'm totally against getting them vaccinated after all their puppy vaccines. I only get the Rabies because of the requirement by law. You're also correct about it varying by state, I believe it is different for each state.

Some still require yearly.Luckily, I live in an area, that despite LAW, there is no enforcement! ! INEVER give a rabies shot. My chis are never in a position to come incontact with a rabid animal, so I do not see the sense in risking it. Asfor other vacines, I give a full round of puppy shots, excluding thelepto. After all the puppy shots have been given, I do not vacinate again.I do not give adult shots unless I happen to get an adult with aquestionable vacination history. I think the puppy vacs protect them muchlonger than vets would have us to believe. I do think puppy vacs areneeded, but I do not think yearly vacs afterwards is a good idea.Marsha> The best advice is, before vaccinating your pup for anything, get> his/her titer levels checked first.
