Is my new vaccinated puppy safe from parvo after home disinfection?

Question

Recently had a pup who died of parvo. Pup stayed in our place less than 48hrs before she showed signs. Disinfected 3-4x already all places she stayed in, pooped and vomited. Discarded all her stuff already. This happened 6-7 days ago. Just tonight, my cousin gave me a 6mos old puppy with complete vaccination shots to cheer me up. Is she still at great risk for parvo? What if new pup is confined in places where parvo infected pup didn’t stay in while still alive? Will this help? Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | unspayed | 4.4 lbs

It sounds like you've done a good job disinfecting your home - if the new pup is finished with her vaccinations, the risk should be minimal. To be safe, you could certainly try and keep her in the areas of your home where your previous puppy never spent time or used the bathroom. But from what you've said here, it seems unlikely that Kiki would get sick - the parvo vaccine is usually very effective, so most cases that I see are in unvaccinated pups.
