The Parvovirus (common viral illness) is more common in puppies than it is in mature adults. Vaccines should start at 6 weeks up to 20 weeks of age at every 2-3 week intervals. After 20 weeks it is recommended that the canine receive it in yearly booster shots since the vaccines offer no guarantee of giving immunity to the virus. The antibody the mother passes onto the puppy can mess with the vaccines making it more difficult to vaccinate effectively.

∙ 15y agoPuppies are at greatly increased risk until they've received their Parvo vaccine booster at 16 weeks, and therefore should be restricted to their own home or their own yard for the first 4 months or so of life. Vaccines don't GUARANTEE a dog won't ever contract Parvo, but it's a low cost way to GREATLY reduce the likelihood of the dog ever being infected.
