You can give them yourself, but you have to be sure of what you are doing.
It seems popular to go to the local feed store, buy whatever the salesperson says to get and hope all is well. The problem is, vaccines have to be stored in certain temps and they need to come from very trustworthy companies. So if you are set on giving them yourself, I'd order them from a trusted vet supply place. It's good to have a plan in case of a life threatening reaction also.

The 7 in 1 contains lepto and corona. Corona is almost always unnecessary and lepto can be very dangerous to small breeds, but that doesn't mean it should never be given. A lot of research should go into giving it or not giving it. Six weeks is much too young to vaccinate Yorkies.
