Lyme can be a big problem, unless you live in an area where lyme disease is prevalent, I would skip it. I, personally, do not believe in bordatella either, the vaccine only covers a small fraction of the various strains and it is only good for 6 months. Unless you routinely board your dog, take her to a doggy daycare type facility or grooming facility that requires bordatella, I would not give it either. Kennel cough is very easily treated in adult dogs and, generally, requires not treatment whatsoever other than some Robitussin to help suppress the cough.

Now, having said all that, please do your own research. I am one who does not believe in over-vaccinating my dogs as the vaccinations themselves can be as much or more harmful to the dogs in the long run. I choose to follow Dr. Dodd's vaccination protocols.
