While it is unlikely that there is any viable parvovirus left in your environment, you are doing perfectly by keeping your new puppy away from any sources that may be infectious. Once your puppy will have had its third set of vaccines it should be well protected against a parvo virus infection. Give the vaccine about 2 weeks to fully work (the body's t-cells will need a bit of time to make specific antibodies against all the diseases you vaccinated for) and you can then take your puppy everywhere .
