How long between a mother dog delivering her first and second puppy?

What happens if a dog misses its fourth vaccine shot?
The core vaccine series is usually three shots; the fourth is typically the rabies vaccine.

If the missed fourth shot was actually a core vaccine, antibody levels should be checked first.
