I am sorry to hear you have to make a trip. I would just recommend being as safe as possible if you are taking the new puppy with you. I would try to avoid high traffic areas where lots of dogs are until Hulk is completely vaccinated. I would assume a new pin would be fine because there was no contamination from a sick pet yet. I hope that helps
