Can I bring parvo home to my vaccinated puppy from an infected dog?

Question

This may sound a bit ridiculous, not sure, but I am playing golf today with a friend whose puppy has parvo. Is my 8 month old puppy who has had her vaccinations, at risk of me picking up the virus someone while riding with that individual in the car they have had the puppy in or around him while playing golf? Seems ridiculous, but I just wanted to check! Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Female | unspayed | 8 months old | 20 lbs

First of all the chance that you would transmit parvo through your friend is pretty small, but as your puppy is fully vaccinated you have nothing to worry about, she is fully protected from this viral disease.
