My 4-week puppies got shots. Are they safe or need more vaccines?

Question

Hello, we recently got 2 four week old German Shepherd puppies who were vaccinated at the 4 weeks of age (I believe it was the detemper and parvo, 6 way? By the people who gave us them) and so far they’re doing well but I’m concerned if this might cause something in the future. What do I do? What are the risks?

It will not cause any problem in the future but you must restart the vaccination course from the beginning at 8 weeks of age as vaccination at 4 weeks have no effect at all and will not protect the puppies from the diseases they should protect them from.
