As far as I'm aware the ONLY legally required vaccination anywhere in the U.S. is rabies.
A certificate of health from your vet is never a bad idea when traveling. But in the past when we've traveled to Canada all we've taken have been our pets' rabies certificates and a copy of a receipt from the vet that showed when they had their last vaccines and when the next ones were due (those are documents we always have with us).
As Little Kopit said, it's a good idea to check on what specific problems (if any) are occurring in the area you're traveling to and vaccinate/treat foe those as your et advises.
