You can buy the vaccine yourself here (this is just one online house, and I have ordered from them successfully):

The reason I mention that is if you ever want to do hatching eggs. Some people don't want to order a whole lot of chickens at once. But "My Pet Chicken" (I like them a lot) and "Nature's Hatchery" (I have an order in with them right now, chicks will be shipped soon) offer small orders of chicks if you pay a lot.
OR
I have also ordered from McMurray Hatchery and liked them.
You can also ask the farm store if the chicks were vaccinated. I don't know if that can be counted on more or less than ordering from a hatchery- mistakes can be made either way. The only sure way to know is to give the vaccine yourself. Only thing is, if you order hatching eggs, you will end up with half roosters!
