Vaccination protocols vary so specific advice should be sought from your own vet, but most vets would advise waiting 1-2 weeks after the second vaccination before walking your puppy out in public or socializing with animals that might be exposed to the virus. If you have any concerns about your dog’s immune system, you should consult your vet as soon as possible.
