Talk to your vet and express your concerns. Then make a decision with your vet that will be the best for your dogs.
Comparing not vaccinating for Parvo against not vaccinating for Kennel Cough is apples to oranges.
Parvo virus can survive in the ground, so your dogs don't need to come into contact with an infected dog to get the disease.
Also, just like with people vaccinations, all the dogs who get vaccinated help protect those dogs who can't get vaccinated for health reasons.
Make sure YOUR decision is based on facts and not hype.
