My pitbull puppy missed his second shot. Is it too late for him?

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male

I bought my pitbull when he was 11 weeks old he had not had his first round of shots yet so I gave him his first shot. But I failed to give him his second shot 3 weeks later like I was supposed to do. Now its been 2 weeks past that time. Is it to late to give that 2nd shot to him? He's now 4.5 months old. What should I do?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It should be fine to give him the second round of vaccines at this point. I would highly encourage you to do it as soon as possible so that you can continue and finish the course. Good luck and have a great day!
