to vaccinate or not

My puppy is 9 months old. His conventional vet sent me a postcard telling me that it was time to boost Cole's corona and parvo. The vet and I have disagreed on vaccine in the past. Thye wanted to start vaccinating at the age of 6 weeks, and continue to vaccinate every 2 weeks until Cole was finished with puppy shots. I did not allow them to vaccinate that much, bevause I have never vaccinated my other dogs that frequently.

Cole alos has a holistic vet. The holisitic vet told me to slow heartworm medicine down to evey other month, and to only vaccinate (with the exception of rabies - legal reasons) every 5 years.

I am a little nervous about not vaccinating for parvo.

Any suggestions, ideas, comments?
