I got a pug puppy and the owner told me she needs the corona vaccine. I am still unsure if she needs it or not. I wanted to know how can I know what shot to give my puppy?

The corona vaccine isn't part of the core vaccines: those that protect against the most common and most serious diseases. In dogs, the core vaccines are distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, parainfluenza (those four are covered under combination shot know as DHPPi), and rabies. The corona vaccine may not be needed for Coco. This vaccine is not recommended for all dogs and will be administered based on your dog's lifestyle and risk assessment. You need to ask her vet about it. I hope this help.
