If they had enough vaccines as younger dogs, then they hopefully have adequate immunity. They have likely already been exposed, but the best you can do is to disinfect everything the puppy touched with 1:32 diluted bleach and to keep them separated for 2 weeks (puppies can continue to shed the virus for several days after recovering from illness). Make sure to change clothes and wash well after being with the puppy.
