Hi and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us and congratulations on your new flock.

Vaccination is a personal choice, but many members do not. It depends on where you are located.

Here's a link to a search that i have just done - https://www.backyardchickens.com/newsearch?search=vaccines

I would say that you have missed the window for Mareks vaccination (should be done on the first day of hatch), so don't worry about that one.

And I am also wondering how loud are chickens because I live in a quiet community
