Can a puppy get parvo after getting his shot?

In: Dogs (Canines), Dog Health [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, a puppy can get a parvovirus infection up until 14 days after the last parvo booster shot (usually given at 16 weeks of age). The parvo shot is a vaccine, which is not immediately effective and needs to be boostered several times until the puppy's immune system has built up enough antibodies to protect the puppy.
