When can my new puppy in Hawaii safely go outside after parvo shots?

Question

Hi! I live in Hawaii and just got a puppy. Everyone says you have to wait till they're 4 month old and get their 3rd parvo vaccine before they can touch the ground outside your yard. Is this paranoia? How common is parvo? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 13 lbs

Parvo is very common in Hawaii and very deadly too. the third parvo vaccine can be done as soon as 12 weeks of age though, depending on when the second vaccination was done (at least 2 weeks prior to that).
