I am not trying to stir the pot here. I do agree that there is an emerging number of vets and owners who are going the titre route. This means an annual blood test and a search for antibodies for all of the ususal suspects. If the antibodies are present in sufficient volume the vaccinations ar forgone. The thinking here is that the dogs immune system can then focus on things that attack it not the vaccinations stimulating additional and possibly uneeded immune response.
That said my vet has also said that "good " levels for lyme antibodies are not well known (or at least were not last year when we titered). He also says that he loses dis-proportionately more Labs and Beagles early in the Lyme disease cycle due to kidney failure. So my opinion is don't take chances, vaccinate for lyme and consider titreing for the other normally vaccinated for diseases/health issues.
