Theoretically, a puppy can become infected with parvovirus immediately after birth. However, provided the mother is properly vaccinated, the antibodies in her colostrum will protect the puppies until they are about to be weaned, approximately 8-12 weeks old. This is why most cases of parvo in puppies is seen in those just weaned and out exploring the world - they haven't completed the full series of puppy vaccines and maternal immunity is waning.
