Iirc a few months ago your county was trying to do some kind of ordinance

SOme of the vaccinations you can get at Farm King or other
farm stores, i.e. FArm & Fleet, FArm King, etc.  DOn't know
if you've anything like that around, but Farm King in
Burlington used to have the Distemper Parvo and a couple of
others.  YOu still had to do the chip and the rabies vaccine through your
vet, but some of the others could be acquired
that way.
MIght save you some dough.
