The counties are allowed to decide whether they have to be given every year or every three years. Most of the counties near us require the yearly. There are really no authorities that supervise or check on ones adherence. My vet advises against giving any really old dog any more vaccines. He believes in the research that most vaccines last for years and that "over" vaccinating can cause problems. If one has the titers checked, often redoing them is not needed for protection.
