Even after getting fully vaccinated what should i do now ? Please help me. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 4 months old

As long as Bruno is fully vaccinated, he should not be in any danger of getting distemper - even if he may have had some brief contact with an infected puppy. The vaccine for this disease is extremely effective, so I wouldn't worry :)
