When can my puppy safely go outside and socialize after vaccinations?

Question

I bought canine spectra shots for my new puppy, and I was wondering when he is able to go outside and be in public places and be aro und other dogs? He is 2-3 months old and I gave him a spectra canine 5 shot and I have spectra canine 6,9,and 10 as well sitting in my fridge for another few weeks and I'll give him 6 and work him up to the other ones.

He will not be fully vaccinated until he's received two rounds of vaccines 3-4 weeks apart after 12 weeks of age. He will also need to have a rabies vaccine (which must be given by a veterinarian) between 12 and 16 weeks of age. Bring your shot records to that appointment to make sure there aren't other diseases Gizmo needs to be vaccinated for that aren't covered in your combos. Several rounds of deworming and fecal testing is also very important for puppies. Finally, by doing vaccines on your own, you're taking some risk of that vaccines not being fully effective if they weren't kept cold while being delivered or on your way home from the store. Boarding families, airlines, and customs may also not recognize Gizmo has up to date on vaccines.
