Contact your local extension office or state department of agriculture and find out what poultry diseases are prevelent in your area, then vaccinate accordingly, or not at all if you wish.
Here's a link regarding vaccinating:

I'd give them Marek's vaccine asap the younger the better before exposure
and yes its great to look up your state and see what diseases are in your area. I'm in the middle of my vaccination program now. so far I've done Marek's and my first series of corzya. that's two shots given a month apart
I have two more I want to give. for corzya I believe 6 weeks is the age
I think its great your doing a vaccination program. after a long internal debate I decided to vaccinate mine. I did a bit of research and decided it was best.most of the newer vaccines do NOT give the disease but only help produce antibodies against the disease. with vaccination I have a small piece of mind.now with mareks vaccine which is a important vaccine in my opinion.but 5% can still get it but won't develop the tumors. that would be the FIRST one I'd give
then see what's present in your state. I choose corzya second because its common but its up to you.you can buy them online. I get mine online from first state vet supply. if I were you I'd get Marek's asap BEFORE they are exposed to it! I really hope this is helpful. good for you deciding to vaccinate is important in my humble opinion. I wish you the best and good luck with your vaccination program!
