Hi there and good question. No, it will not hurt Jax if he gets another parvovirus vaccine if he has already had one. Parvovirus vaccines in adult canines are typically given every 1-3 years. If he had one 3 years ago, then it is time for a booster. If he already had one this year, another vaccine will not harm him unless he is allergic to the vaccine. Hope this helps!
