These will include the core vaccines, which are administered in a series of three: at 6-, 12-, and 16 weeks old. The core vaccines include the DHLPP (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvo, and parainfluenza). Your pup will also need a rabies vaccination, which is usually around $15—20.
Do puppies need 2 or 3 vaccinations?
Your puppy needs 2 booster vaccinations to generate enough immunity to protect them. Their booster vaccines must be given 3-4 weeks apart and one of them must be after the puppy is 12 weeks old as this is the age at which the immunity from the puppy's mother is decreasing.
Why do puppies need 3 sets of shots?
One set of vaccines is effective but only for a short time (three to four weeks) because your puppy's immune system is still building. Your dog needs three sets of vaccines three to four weeks apart up to 16 weeks of age in order for him or her to be protected against harmful and sometimes deadly viruses and bacteria.
