My 5-week-old puppy has worms. When can she get her Parvo shot?

Question

I have a new puppy who is 5 weeks old. She has worms and fleas. I've been trying to get rid of her worms and they've decreased along with the fleas. I feel it's time to get her Parvo shot and I'm not sure what type of shot she should get. Thanks in advance for the help. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 lbs

First of all regarding the worms and fleas, a food quality treatment for worms and for fleas will get rid of both within 24 hours, so make sure you use a high quality product. she is too young to get her parvo (and other) shot, you need to wait until she is 8 weeks old. she then will need 2-3 shots 2-4 weeks apart t o complete the vaccination course.
