Iirc kennel cough isn't just "one thing" its a virus like influenza and a bacteria in combination.

Vets don't normally do a routine vaccine for kennel cough. They will if you ask them, but they'll point out that there are several strains of the virus (a bit like flu & the vaccine for flu) and the vaccine will only protect against one or two of them.

Unless your dog is going into kennels or there is a particular problem with kennel cough in your area I wouldn't personally bother.
